By crafting tintype photographs that will last as long as your love, Gusdugger has the creative answer to Valentine’s Day woes in the Magic City. They are hosting three sessions at MAKEbhm this Friday, Saturday, and on Valentine’s Day to add a unique and romantic touch to date night.

Gusdugger Tintype Photographs is a collaborative project by Birmingham-based photographers Cary Norton and Jared Ragland. The duo specializes in the Civil War era wet-plate collodion tintype process, using vintage large format cameras, hand-crafted chemistry, and a mobile darkroom to make photographs that stand the test of time.

Sittings are first come, first serve or you can reserve a half hour time slot by emailing info@gusdugger.com.
