The Civil War Tintype and Modern Soldiers

I like the idea of renewing this old process. In Drew’s photographs, it brought out a more humane side to the war. My opinion is that the black and white tintype process gives out this deeper mood to the photography. I tend to focus more on the faces of the soldiers instead of the background. Maybe the time to take the photographs has an impact to this effect too. The soldiers have to stare into the camera for ten seconds. The photo result felt like the soldier is looking at me and try to tell a story. There are always benefits to bringing old process back. The soldiers of today still fast the same emotions as the ones back in civil war. This helps bringing out that emotion.
