Panoramas & Tintypes

Landscapes, Dreamscapes, & Time Travel

Drew Tanner is a film and historic process photographer based in the Mid-Ohio Valley, specializing in large-format panoramic and wet-plate collodion photography. Throughout his career, Drew has worked in print and radio journalism, communications, and arts venue management - experiences that nurtured his creative storytelling. Over time, his work in traditional film photography has evolved into a focus on historical photographic processes. Today, he uses a 1921 Cirkut No. 10 panoramic camera and even earlier 19th-century wet-plate tools and techniques to capture unique images of people and places in West Virginia, Ohio, and wherever he happens to bring one of his cameras along.

Two of a kind! @carolineeells_ and @mud_as_man recently stopped by the tintype studio recently. The 4-up ‘photo booth’s type shot was especially fun. And the folios from @cas_photo really set them off. ✨

Just received some beautiful handprinted 5x7 paper folios from @cas_photo. Looking forward to using these for some of my tintypes.
During last month’s cold snap, the ice tower at Ash Cave was the tallest it has been in over a decade. I managed to get this shot of it the day before it collapsed as the weather warmed. 8” X 24” Vandyke Brown Print, Selenium Tone
