Behind the scenes, she helps keep our systems organized and our team on track. As one of our in-house models, Ashlyn also brings a unique front-facing perspective to our work — reminding us to stay rooted in care, creativity, and the human side of design.
Tintype photography is a 19th-century image-making process that captures portraits on metal plates, creating one-of-a-kind photographs with haunting depth and raw, enduring beauty. Known for its moody tones and rich textures, the method uses a direct-positive process where the image is developed immediately on a coated piece of metal — no negatives, no duplicates. It’s a slower, more intentional way of seeing.
The portraits featured on this page were created by Andrew Hanenberg, a local photographer who works in tintype using traditional techniques. His work adds a timeless, tactile quality to our story — honoring the spirit of heritage, individuality, and craft that defines CLAY+CODA
