In looking at this lovely portrait, I am taken by the setting and the dress as much as the person within. Would you have any information on the date or place of this tintype? I am leaning towards post 1870 by the dress, but with all things personal there are variations.

Origin 8, any light modification to the strobes? Your use of the powerful strobe light is very masterful and admired.

Origin 8 great ‘short pour’ framing technique on the bottom of this excellent portrait. Did you use natural lighting to render the plate?

Gurkan, terrific portraits! I bet the actresses and theatre loved being so sensitively portrayed. What are the scale of your plates here?
