i’ve started working on some cyanotype photograms. theyre alot of fun to do.
the images are made by painting a light sensitive emulsion of potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate onto a watercolor paper, and exposing it to uv light with the object directly on top of the paper.
if any of you out there have objects (coral, dried plants, seashells…things like that) that you’d be willing to let me use for some cyanotypes, you would make me very happy. leave a comment or shoot me an email!
my version*
*i figured i probably should clarify which is which because mine looks so freaking awesome
here are the prized possessions i photographed on tuesday.
jessie‘s boots are morgan freeman approved*
trevor‘s typewriter is just awesome
and the bible that cate‘s sister lucy is holding belonged to brigham young
*wondering about morgan freeman? as the story goes, jessie had just gotten the boots and was wearing them in portland when morgan freeman walked past and said imagine this in his voice:
“those are some real nice boots.”
