About the Artist
Adrian is a photographic artist based in Austin, Texas. Born in the UK, Adrian received his Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication before moving to the US in 2007 to pursue photography. In 2013 Adrian founded Lumiere Tintype, the world's only traveling tintype portrait studio. Lumiere serves as an attempt to make honest, timeless portraiture that helps people to reconnect with the lost alchemy of a handmade photograph. In the past eight years Adrian has shot over fourteen thousand tintype portraits, images that he hopes will be cherished for generations to come.
Artist Statement
At Lumiere, we create photographs using 19th century methods. At the intersection of Science and Art we find the tintype process, an alchemy that requires us to slow down and return to the roots of photography.
