Highlights
Step back in time and discover the magic of 19th-century photography with the Tintype Portrait Experience at Singapore’s first and only wet-plate tintype portrait studio. Learn how to create stunning silver-on-metal portraits using this rare, hands-on process that blends art, chemistry, and nostalgia. Under the guidance of skilled photographers, you’ll craft a one-of-a-kind portrait that captures your true essence — flaws, beauty, and all.

Watch your image come to life in the darkroom, then take home your handcrafted plate — varnished, framed, and digitally scanned for keeps. It’s a beautiful fusion of vintage artistry and personal storytelling, perfect for photography enthusiasts or anyone seeking a meaningful creative experience.

This was a very interesting experience! Ryan was clear in his explanation, and he is friendly to make small talk to put us at ease. He is knowledgeable and and patient with is old folks as well. We were able to use our Cultural pass voucher as well!
Hubby and I had an amazing time doing this tintype photography experience. Learning the process and creating our own tintype portrait was so much fun! Ryan made the session engaging, relaxed, and enjoyable, and we learned so much along the way. Such a unique experience and a beautiful memory to take home.
A very eye-opening experience for my partner and I! Ryan was very friendly, welcoming, and very patient in guiding us throughout the whole process. He explained every detail very thoroughly, and directed us to get our best shots. We learnt so much about Tintype photography from this experience - and we highly recommend this to those looking for a unique activity!
Came here with my wife to get hands on with our own vintage photoshoot, and was not disappointed! It’s unique and eye-opening to witness the process of tintype photography rather than your usual digital photo studios, and Ryan, the studio’s owner, guides you every step of the way with such care and professionalism, even beginners can get the hang of it. We enjoyed ourselves throughout this experience and we’re looking forward to come back in different outfits!
The best and most worth while experience you can use your SG Culturepass for. Highly recommend 👍🏼
Can’t believe I just found out about this amazing experience considering that the studio has been around since 2019. The entire experience from start to finish was so rich and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed every second it and love how my tintypes turned out.
