Cyanotypes

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ammonium iron(III) citrate and potassium ferricyanide

Here are some examples:

Light Sensitivity

Photography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.
Some examples of materials you could use are;

  • Leaves
  • Cyanotype
  • Grass
  • Ordinary Paper
  • Photography Paper
