Steampunk Black Widow Cosplay
Geek Girl
J Ravensong looks lovely cosplaying as her steampunk version of Black Widow in these impressive authentic tintype photographs! Here's what she had to say...
"I had the privilege and honor recently of working with Dan Herrera of Emerge from the Aether Tintype Studio and got some amazing shots of my Steampunk Black Widow! This isn't just old fashioned looking photography, the actual shoot was done using vintage equipment and the images are shot on actual plates. What you see here has been digitized for online use but the actual plates have an indescribable beauty that must be appreciated in person!
While original cameras from the 1850's would have required the model to hold completely still for several minutes per shot, these require a exposure of 6 to 10 seconds each and use a camera from the early 1960's. The flash required for this type of imagery is intense and the blast of heat after each flash is startling; however, the end product has unsurpassed grace and elegance....well worth the 10 seconds :)
Mr. Herrera is doing a collection of superheroes and popular nerdy characters shot in this style, so please go check out his page and see all the rockin' pics!!! Emerge from the Aether Tintype Studio is a Sacramento based photography studio specializing in tintype portraiture and antiquated photography techniques. Visit them on FB or at aethertintype.com for more info and images."
