Welcome to the amazing alternative processes of photography! To begin experimenting with different techniques that can be used to make photographic images, we will be creating cyanotypes, a unique prussian blue print created by the sun!
In order to make cyanotypes, you will first need a variety of imagery to use. This imagery can be combined together to form unique compositions. You will need to create several ortho-litho prints in the darkroom first to be used as contact imagery for your cyanotypes. You may use imagery from any of your negatives from Photo 1 or Photo 2, or you can experiment with photograms or other forms of contact printing.
Take a look at the slideshow below, and consider the different possibilities.
You should create 3-4 ortho-litho prints to begin with. One print should demonstrate darkroom mastery, (wide-range of value, sharp detail, etc.), and the others can be experimental, (consider cropping or using both negative & positive imagery together).
3-4 ortho-litho prints DUE: Wed. 10/22
