Description

The tintype is rooted in more than 150 years of photographic method.

In this collection of extraordinary portraits, Timothy Duffy brings new vitality to this old form, capturing powerful images of musicians who represent the roots of American music.

These American blues, jazz, and folk artists are living expressions of a cultural legacy, made and remade by everyday people and passed down through generations.

In the hands of the people in Duffy's portraits, centuries-old traditions find new expression in this digital millennium.

Likewise, Duffy's photographic techniques fuse old forms and the original collodion wet plates with modern lighting.

In this collaboration between photographer and artist, music and image meet around a history of struggle, adaptability, and creativity.

It is this ethos that Duffy captures in his tintypes.

Some of the musicians in Duffy's photographs have found fame, but most have not.

While the world finds inspiration in the grassroots creativity of these musicians, barriers of class, race, and place often keep them underacknowledged and obscured.

But in these photographs, Duffy demands they be seen.
