Tintype Portraits
Slow portrait sessions!
Portraits created using photography processes developed in the mid-1800s. As well as getting a timeless, authentic portrait, you'll get to be involved in developing the photo in the darkroom!
Kind words
“I am so happy I booked a session with Dan and would tell anyone to get their tintype portrait done with him. He walked me through the entire process and is extremely knowledgeable.
Would do it again in a heartbeat.”
Julia Rasmussen
“I booked a tintype session for my family when we were visiting Edinburgh. I was skeptical about how it would go with a 4 month old and 6 year old but Daniel was brilliant! I’m beyond thrilled with our portrait and the [darkroom] experience was so cool.
Would highly recommend!”
Aimee Barnett
"Working with Daniel was a dream! We had the best time taking tin types at our wedding cocktail hour, after dinner. They were our take-home photo gifts for our guests and everyone did one! Dan managed the setup with our planner and us beautifully. We even got to watch the development process in the dark room they set up.
Magic"

Not just tintypes, but also...

WHAT DO
I WANT
TO ACHIEVE
AS A
PORTRAIT
PHOTOGRAPHER?
Portraits That Capture Likeness & Identity
I aim to create recognizable images of you, but beyond appearance I want to explore identity, personality, and purpose in your portrait.
Once created they are a historical record of you, documenting who you were and how you wanted to be seen at that moment. An anchor in the past that illustrates the journey you have taken.
Your portrait can be used to celebrate yourself or a loved one, commemorate life, or highlight importance. To communicate a story between then and now.
Portraits That Express Growth
Your portrait can be used to express elements of your identity and, over time, your growth and development; physically, emotionally and culturally.
About Me
Daniel Rannoch
I’ve been telling stories all my life. Written, spoken and photographed. Telling people’s stories is what I’m passionate about.
I’ve moved a lot. I’ve lived in England, Ireland, France and now Scotland. Living in all those different places has allowed me to see things with an open mind and a curiosity that feeds into how I create images. Now that I’ve made Edinburgh my home I get to enjoy its vibrancy and culture and it’s the perfect hub to work as a photographer.
I specialise in portraits and branding. It’s the natural progression from my love of storytelling and people centric imagery.
