Surf Site Tin Type is an homage to a sport, a way of life and to the people who practice it. Over the last decade, Joni Sternbach has created portraits in tintype of contemporary surfers that put the world of surfing in a completely new light. Stunning in their detail, these unique images evoke the romance of surfing and the strong individualism of the men and women who live to ride the waves. Working with a large format camera and using hand-poured tintype plates, Sternbach has profiled a fascinating range of people on beaches around the world, from Malibu to Montauk to Byron Bay, Australia. While most photographers deal with the action of surfing, Surf Site Tin Type captures the surfers and the settings that are the true essence of the sport. Surf Site Tin Type features texts by noted photo critic and historian Lyle Rexer, April M. Watson, Curator of photography at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, champion surfer, writer, and filmmaker Chris Malloy and Johnny Abegg. Joni Sternbach was born in the Bronx, New York. She graduated from New York University/International Center of Photography with an M.A. in Photography in 1987. She was part of the adjunct faculty at New York University for over 20 years, and is currently a visiting artist at Cooper Union in NYC, a faculty member at ICP, The Center for Alternative Photography where she specializes in teaching wet plate collodion.

How did we achieve carbon neutrality?
1. Minimising carbon emissions
The first step to achieve carbon neutrality was reducing our emissions. We have done this by using green couriers such as DHL GoGreen and Green Courier where available, only using renewable energy suppliers including Ecotricity and Stadtwerke Düsseldorf and electric bikes for transport. We have print facilities globally, this means we can reduce air travel when shipping your orders.
2. Calculating unavoidable emissions
Once we have reduced our emissions as much as possible we are audited by carbonfootprint.com to calculate our carbon impact. This report includes our performance, a breakdown of our footprint and further recommendations to minimise our footprint. We make this report publicly available.
3. Carbon emission offsetting
We then offset our carbon emissions via The Gold Standard, and help fund projects for a safer climate and more sustainable world.
