The long exposure time needed to make a tintype requires that the sitter remain as still as possible to produce a sharp image. As a result, the subjects of these tintypes often display an intense and guileless expression that immediately connects their faces to those of 19th-Century portraits. Stripped of the modern default behavior of smiling in front of a camera, these images, with all the exquisite detail afforded by the wet plate process, suggest an important rethinking of what it means to photograph and be photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnderson-Staley mixes and pours the emulsion for each plate on site shortly before a portrait is made. The process of hand-coating each piece leaves behind traces of the maker that are as beautifully and deeply embedded in the final image as the perceived identity of the subject. \u003cstrong\u003eA number of portraits in the book were shot on site at The Print Center.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT KELIY ANDERSON-STALEY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeily Anderson-Staley has exhibited her work for over a decade in solo and group exhibitions at institutions including The Print Center, Philadelphia, PA; the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution; Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Russia; the California Museum of Photography; and the Southeast Museum of Photography.
