A friend of mine wants me to shoot his portrait as a Christmas present for his wife. He is involved in single-speed bicycling and has a formidable vintage clothing collection as well. He told me wanted an 8x10 portrait with his bike and looking "like a tintype" in his own words.
I am thinking I could use my 8x10 (uncoated lens of course) with homemade dry plates, contact print on FB paper, and sepia tone. Option B would be to use my 4x5 box camera with either type 55 or APHS film, enlarge to 8x10 and follow as above.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
