Artificial tintype No.1

Portrait of a friend. I printed this image using a process that I am currently experimenting with. Using liquid emulsion painted onto cut pieces of sheet metal. Inspired by tintype photographic prints, popular in the late 19th century. Still experimenting with different methods and materials, so here is what I have so far.
