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.
During this intimate session, limited to just two participants, you’ll learn the science behind the wet plate collodion process and create your very own tintype portrait. 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.

Ryan was so thoroughly engaging throughout the session. the elements of the session were so well planned and intentional. he goes through a brief "teaching" and demonstration portion, before letting us have a try. it's a great experience for anyone who is keen on doing bits of hands on, while still experiencing something novel. the craft is such a hidden gem and you'll definitely leave with a deep appreciation for the art. 10/10 recommend and it's worth every cent :)
Ryan was very knowledgeable and patient with us throughout the whole session. It's a completely different experience compared to the instant photography we know today. My partner and I enjoyed ourselves greatly and are so happy we finally have a period-accurate photo together! Thanks again to Ryan for helping us find our best sides :)
Ryan was very keen to share the process of tintype making. He was also very generous in terms of offering and advising what would help me make a good portrait with my fave accessories and pieces. Can’t believe I owe a tintype photo now!
Prior to the session, I had been very interested to participate in a tintype session and learning more about this specific analogue process of photography, but did not have the capacity to book a session because of monetary costs. When this new workshop was announced at a price range which I could afford, I had a session booked immediately. The highlight of the session for me was seeing how consistent and effortlessly Ryan was able to set up the collodion plates, which may look easy to an untrained eye but is not an easy task. Very thankful to the team at Hip Xiong Photo Studio for keeping wet plate photography accessible and alive in Singapore.
Entire experience was informative and also fun making our own hands-on tintype portrait
If you're looking for an activity that is rare and doesn't take up too much time, this is it. A very concise, straight up no nonsense hands-on experience that you wouldn't want to miss. Bonus points for awesome coffee (you can smell it once you enter the rustic shop house along the road @ Geylang Road) and of course, meeting the sweet and kind person behind the camera, Ryan. This is probably an experience that you'd like to keep, together with your own personal tintype portrait for a long long time!
