In her acclaimed monograph Surf Site Tin Type, American photographer Joni Sternbach gathers the worldwide surfer community together in a series of fascinating portraits that celebrate surfing as a sport and way of life. Using the nineteenth-century wet-plate collodion process with a large-format camera, Sternbach creates one-of-a-kind tintypes that capture the bold individualism of the men and women who live to ride the waves. From the United States to Australia to Cornwall in England, Surf Site Tin Type brings us surfing legends, current stars and local practitioners portrayed in exquisitely detailed images.

Since its publication last year, Surf Site Tin Type has captivated art and photography fans and the surfer community alike. The first edition sold out quickly, hastening a second printing.
