How would you describe the work you do and why?: 

Tif's work is mainly concerned with still life and portraiture. He has particularly embraced the analogue technique of wet plate collodion, first developed in the 1860's. His resulting tintypes are unique images on sheets of metal with staggering detail and tonal depth.

For you what does being an artist mean?: 

For Tif, the world he encounters is beautifully imperfect. It is his attempts to celebrate and evoke this that drives his artistic life.
