About

In 1851, a photographer poured collodion onto a plate of metal, exposed it in the camera, and developed it before it dried. One plate. One shot. No second chance. TinType is that camera, built for the iPhone. SHOOT FIRST. EDIT NEVER. You decide your tools before you shoot, the way it was for seventy years of photography. Choose the plate, frame the picture, and take it. What comes out is a finished wet plate image. Some plates are better than others. That's the process. THE PLATES Collodion black and white, color, sepia, and dark — each with handmade edges, water marks, and grain drawn from real plates. Create hauntingly beautiful, soul-capturing portraits; faithfully reproduced with stunning accuracy. THE PORTRAIT TinType was built for photographing people. It finds the eyes and sets the focal plane directly on them, the same as a collodion plate photographer set their camera to do. It reads real depth from the camera — front and back — for the most authentic images possible. THE CAMERA Beautifully designed to mimic the tintype cameras of yore, the interface even reacts to your motion with glimmer and luster as you frame your subject. IN YOUR LIBRARY TinTypes save straight to Photos at full quality, with no watermark, ever. You can tweak the plates with a built-in editing suite and change the focal point with a tap. Built by Hipstamatic, which has been making cameras for the iPhone since 2009. ** HIPSTAMATIC ** CAMERA CLUB Unlimited TinType use is included for all Hipstamatic Camera Club Members. A standalone 'Unlimited' upgrade is also available for one-time purchase.
