About Shot Shop Oakland

Shot Shop Oakland is a tintype photography studio based in Oakland, California, specializing in historic wet plate collodion photography. Using original 19th-century photographic processes, we create one-of-a-kind tintype portraits on metal plates, made by hand using light, silver, and chemistry.

Tintype photography dates back to the 1850s. Each image is created individually, coated, exposed, and developed on site while the plate is still wet. No two tintypes are ever the same. Every portrait is a singular object — a physical reminder of presence, memory, and time.

Shot Shop Oakland was founded by photographer Hasain Rasheed as a way to slow photography down and reconnect it to craft, intention, and community. The studio’s work focuses on portraiture, cultural documentation, and storytelling, with a particular emphasis on Oakland and its people.

We offer tintype portrait sessions for individuals, families, artists, and community members, as well as pop-ups, events, and collaborative projects. Each session results in a finished tintype photograph that can last for generations.

Shot Shop Oakland is proud to be part of the contemporary revival of tintype photography while honoring its historical roots. Our work exists at the intersection of art, history, and community.

• Tintype portrait sessions
