I wish I could add more than 5 stars to this review due to the absolute fantastic results of Kevin Black's photography. To give background information, I was searching high and low to find a photographer who still took tintype photographs in Albuquerque for a student film I am creating; little did I know that I found the best! The two portraits, attached to this review, were stunning and expertly executed. The product, in short, was worth every penny and more! However, I believe that the final product is not the only thing that made this experience exceptional, but also Kevin's professionalism, research, and drive to create the best photo he could for the client. When I arrived to his studio, (aside from wearing a mask and keeping distance following Covid standards,) I was shocked to see print outs of my example photos- it was obvious that Kevin understood what I wanted to do more than I did! As the session progressed I had the pleasure of learning more about Kevin- this certainly promoted a warm, friendly atmosphere. To better put this to words, it did not feel like going to a camera shop to take a picture for your passport photo, or getting graduation pictures taken in a random photography studio, but instead like an artist enjoying his genuine love of photography and wanting to make an image that would resonate with the client indefinitely. All in all, I walked out of my session from Kevin's studio feeling like I had a genuinely terrific experience- I understand the science behind tintype photography, I felt as if I had a collaborative effort with a fantastic artist, and of course I left with two beautiful tintypes that will last for many years! I can't wait to return and have more portraits taken! read more
