​Thats right!! C.A.S. Photography is headed to 3d Con located in Irvine, CA at the Irvine Hotel. you can come have a stereo-tintype done by us August 12&13 at their Trade Fair, which is open to the public. Message me if you have any questions!
​Hope to see you there.

Back at it again with Modern Times Beer.  This time around, I got to go to two locations! Their tasting room and then their warehouse. The first team of the day was the Tasting room team. By far, they were the largest amount of people we have ever photographed in a tintype. We had to raise the tripod and get a stepladder for me to be able to focus the camera (short people problems).  After that was the Merch Team and the Coffee/Cafe Team. 

Their warehouse by far was my favorite location to shoot at. It was big and spacious and it had skylights! They also have barrels everywhere and two narwhal pinatas (which made an appearance. See if you can find them) .We still had need for non natural lights and it helped cut down our exposure time to 5 secs each.

The experience of working with Modern Times Beer has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you to everyone for the opportunity :)

At the end of last year, I had my first meeting with Modern Times Beer , where we talked about getting tintype portraits done of all the teams that work there. I couldn't have been more honored to do this for a local business here in San Diego ( just like me!) 
On March 1st, I was able to do five of the teams and will be going back soon to photograph more teams and hear about what they do. 

For this shoot, I rented lights for the first time! I like to think I'm a purist when it comes to the wet plate collodion process and in the first time of my four years (almost five) of doing this I caved and rented them. We used 2, 6 bank heads, of Stellar Vari Flo lights. All of our exposures have been 7 secs when using these lights. By the vats were the darkest areas. 
Another fun part about this shoot is that I got to frame. I'm having team member of the teams sign at matte to go into the frame.

We have made it to another year! The year where I will have been open (as a business) for a year. The year where I'll be expanding and adding different things to my business. The year where I make new friends and experiences.

To start out on something new this year, I moved my darkroom to a different spot at Old Town. The Blacksmiths. 


Thank you to all that posed for me and allowing me to share these images!
