Cyanotypes and Digital Photography

Blue and Gold 

My favourite colours!

I use both old and new techniques in my photography, from cyanotypes printed in the UV light from the sun to the use of a digital camera and computer.

Further information

The cyanotype process was invented in the 1840s before the camera was invented. The chemicals are painted onto watercolour paper or fabric. If  for example a leaf is placed on top and it is left in the sun, the leaf stays white and the rest goes blue. This is the origin of the word 'blueprint'. 

I use mainly plant material for my cyanotypes, but have experimented with digital negatives as well. I experiment with adding turmeric, soap bubbles or paint amongst other things introduces some colour and texture.
