On-location wet-plate portrait photography
Have a portrait made directly onto a metal plate at your gathering
Ruby Bellows Tintype / Sheena Dorton
Sheena Dorton offers private-event and on-location tintype portrait sessions using wet-plate collodion photography. Rather than a digital photo-booth print, each sitting produces a hand-prepared metal-plate portrait. Private studio appointments are a separate option.
Current location note / listed area: Fort Worth, Texas
The owned site retains an old pandemic note and unfinished booking/contact blocks, though a direct email invitation is readable and a 2026 host documents the same artist’s work. Inquire directly about current acceptance, exact studio or event site, date, plate size, guest throughput, strobe suitability and staff-controlled chemistry setup. Do not assume instant delivery, guest chemical handling or wedding service.
