Val is a local artist and sometimes model here in the Bay Area. I’d been following her work for some time. We finally got it together to collaborate on some tintypes one weekend during the Covid lockdown. I think she’s the first person I took the chance of working with during social distancing. I feel its fairly safe to live limited one on one interactions if everyone is following CDC guidelines as they move about the their lives. Click through to see the rest of the tintypes we shot that day as well as a good number of digital images we captured in an empty unit in my building. Val’s Instagram can be found here if it hasn’t been removed. She likes to push boundaries: valkyrie in chains As always, the original tins are for sale. Enquire here. Click thru to see it all
