New Age, Old School
Hip Xiong is Singapore's first and only wetplate tintype portrait studio. Through the use of modern equipment and refined techniques, we are reviving the charm of a medium that predates film, blurring the lines between Alchemy and Photography.

Tintype Portrait Session
At Hip Xiong we believe in creating something with tangible value, images formed by real silver on a blackened metal plate that will last centuries.
We cater to individuals, couples and even groups ranging from 3 - 5 pax. Have your portrait taken and get to experience the development process right after. It is an experience not to be missed.
* Do let us know if there are young children involved. Pets not allowed.
Tintype Workshop
Through our constant effort to perfect the wet plate collodion process, we are able to make the knowledge more accessible to anyone who is fascinated by its unique aesthetic and want to use it as a new form of artistic expression.
Get hands on in creating your own tintype portraits. Each participant will get to learn the science and technique of wet plate photography and get to create a self portrait tintype of themselves. Workshop sizes are kept to 2 pax to allow ample attention to each participant throughout the entire process.
* Children under the age of 12 are not suitable for a wet plate workshop.
