Jupiter Tintypes
is the co-creative journey Alex CD and Jeffrey Bourgeois embarked on together as an embodiment of co-creation and interest in a specific correspondence of alchemy; Jupiter. They plan on taking the operation nomadic, and venture across the Americas in their mobile tintype studio.
The team is currently exploring the alchemical correspondences of Jupiter. Making tintypes involves an intimate connexion with its associated aspects; creativity, pleasure, co-creation, silver, metal, liquids, chemistry, awareness, travel, new experiences, life purpose, prosperity.

Jeffrey Bourgeois
began his love for cameras as far back as his teens, while filming short skateboarding films in order to get his buddies successfully sponsored. He moved into more artistic and commercial work as a Director of Photography in Montreal, and now spends most of his time geeking out on how to perfect the art and craft of tintypes. He is the master of light and technique for Jupiter Tintypes.
Alex CD
is a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate from Concordia University in Montreal, who has travelled and studied all over the world gathering knowledge and education to empower her to become a multidisciplinary creative. It’s hard to put her in one box; she is a part-time nomad, homesteader, muse, philosopher, maker, designer, jeweller, alchemy apprentice, explorer, catalyzer, activist, and now a passionate tintyper.
