Join us in Nubian Square for a unique opportunity to have your tintype portrait taken at the Black Magic installation by photographer Adam Davis.

From October 6-13, Davis will be bringing his distinctive 1850s tintype photo practice to Boston, offering residents the chance to have their portraits taken.

In each session, Davis will create two portraits— one for participants to take home and cherish, and one to add to his own archive. During this residency, Davis will set up a studio at Black Market, where he will produce photographic tintypes as part of his goal to create an archive of 20,000 portraits of Black Americans.
