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.

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.
