Cyanotypes are Amazing!!!
Cyanotype is an incredible 180-year-old alternative photographic process invented by Sir John Herschel. Anna Aktins, a botanist, used the cyanotype to create illustrations of seaweed.
The classic blue and white color is created when sunlight (UV) reacts with the hand coated surface. Objects such as flowers, feathers and photographic negatives block the light leaving white shapes behind.
It's incredible that the process is still being used today. It was used to copy architectural drawings (blueprints) and make illustration books. Today, cyanotypes are used by artists, hobbyists, and fine art photographers around the world.
