Tintography is a contemporary photographic art where the fusion of digital art and conventional hand painting are aesthetically combined in one beautiful picture. The look of a Tintography exceeds that of the beauty of a color photograph.
Tintography was introduced in the year 2000 by Jomel Gregorio, a young and fast-rising practitioner in the Philippine wedding industry. After years of careful study, research and experimentation, Jomel has perfected the said process and subsequently gained some measure of popularity. In September of 2007 the said art process was featured in a national television show after a TV lifestyle reporter Zye Parzad of IBC 13 learned about his unique artwork.
Tintography is the modern version of alternative process in photographic printing which gives a truly unique charm to an ordinary image. It imbues hand colored black and white images a unique charm by giving it an old, nostalgic look. The process is painstakingly tedious but the result pays-off. It takes days, depending on the complexity of the image, before Jomel finishes one Tintograph. The original artworks are scanned using a professional photo quality scanner for digital file conversion that offers limitless possibilities for album design giving a one-of-a-kind memento of your wedding day as the story unfolds in each pages of the album.
The value of a Tintograph appreciates like other artworks, drawings and paintings. It is already gaining popularity among couples who have passion for art and they themselves become patrons of the process.
Capturing the moment… emotion and human experience…a Tintograph gives meaning and life to your photographic images. Tintography makes them timeless. Each artwork comes in acid free window-matting and framing with a certificate of authenticity.
