Lumiere Tintype Photography

Very cool experience! This guy has a really unique talent and love that he has found a way to share it with others and make money with it. That’s what having a passion is all about. Pricey, but hey, you get what you pay for.

The best money you’ll EVER spend being immortalized in whatever state you’re in. I was thoroughly inebriated, sans makeup and some random man decided to make a cameo before whisking me away… I’m actually writing this tied up in his basement and I think he intends to lay me over railroad tracks. Please tell my cat I love her.
True to it’s form, come as you are and the product is timeless as it is piercing. Bravo.

Woohoo for artisans! I love my portrait. Very cool idea, even though its expensive (its art, so it shouldn’t be cheap).

Lumiere specializes in tintype portraits using the *real* processes (e.g., collodion, silver, sandarac and lavender) used by photographers 150 years ago. I like the authenticity of Lumiere — there is no digital anything in their trailer studio behind Justine’s in E. Austin. The tintypes make very cool gifts. Check it out!

Awesome, everyone should have at least one tintype done in their lifetime. Adrian the photographer is super chill, even kind of taught us some stuff about processing the film. Cool little trailer out back of Justines Brasserie. Prices may seem steep, but not once you’re holding a one of a kind, locally made, vintage looking portrai, that will last for ever, absolutely priceless. I recommend this highly.

seriously. freakin’. awesome.
the bf surprised me with at photo shoot for my birthday. but not just any photo shoot.
«ok. so you had your picture taken.» that is what you are thinking? right? Yeah, no.
This is a tin type photo. you know, like, civil war shit. Who does that!!! Lumiere. That’s who. and not only that, he does it in a trailer. Cause all the awesome stuff in Austin comes from trailers. in an unassuming parking lot, in a trailer, you too, can have an amazing photo taken of yourself, or with your beau (as i did), or even your dog. But it’s not on paper. no, people. this is a Tin Type.
seriously, it was super cool. and the photo. omg. just pure brill lance.
the bf looks great and i look fat, but… you know. It’s so cool. to hold in your hand. It’s a photo on a piece of metal!
It takes ONLY an hour for him to develop and deliver the picture. *could that BE any more awesome? no.* So, we sat, he grabbed the shot then started developing the pic. Adrian is such a cool guy. He showed us the process and chatted with us. i barely even noticed the hour fly by. Oh. and the last chemical he uses to develop the pic has lavender oil in it, so not only do you have an awesome picture, it smells good as well. He said it actually takes about 7 days for the photo to cure, so i am looking forward to seeing the end result. But, the beginning result is awesome enough.
Best $ 60 bucks we have spent in a while…
