Staring at your monitor, adjusting your images for hours on end is almost considered the norm for professional photographers now. That is until you hear about someone like Harry Taylor, who has gone back to basics with Tintype, the art of producing photographs directly onto an iron metal sheet negative.

This raw method of photography is a process of carrying huge iron plate negatives at 11" x 14" size, long exposures of the subject, and then lacquering and coating your negatives with a collodion photographic emulsion. The final products are simply astounding. They manage to present something deeper with every imperfection that modern photographers try to reduce.

The documentary was made by filmmaker and photography enthusiast Matt Morris, who had noticed Harry Taylor in a magazine article about tintype. After getting Taylor to shoot their engagement photos using this 19th Century process, he returned a few months later with two Canon 5Ds and filmed a fascinating day in the life.
