What's a Cyanotype? |
Cyanotype is a 170 year old photographic printing process that produces prints in a distinctive dark greenish-blue. The word cyan comes from the Greek, meaning “dark blue substance.”
So, I took a digital photo, inverted it, printed it on a transparency sheet, put it on cyanotype paper, and set it out in the sun. Once it turned a "pee-ish yellow" I took it inside and rinsed it with water, thus giving me a finished blue-y cyanotype print. |
