What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a photographer that specializes in 1800’s tintypes. I work in the process of creating lasting tintypes and ambrotypes that will last for hundreds of years! The art of tintypes dates back to the mid-early 1800’s and is a form of photography that is very tactile. My chemical recipes are the same as what they used back in history, and I create a unique, one-of-a-kind heirloom photo that will last forever. I am the only one offering this in my area, and so far, people are absolutely amazed at the process, and it is truly magical!
