What is Cyanotype?

Invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic processes. It produces images in a signature deep blue hue through a fascinating chemical reaction. By coating paper or fabric with a light-sensitive solution, arranging objects or negatives on top, and exposing it to UV light, you’ll watch as sunlight works its magic. After a simple rinse in water, the exposed areas transform into rich blue tones, while the covered parts remain white—a timeless and captivating technique.
