Beschreibung

Cyanotype: The Blueprint in Contemporary Practice is a two part book on the much admired blue print process. Part One is a comprehensive how-to on the cyanotype process for both beginner and advanced practitioners, with lots of photographs and clear, step-by-step directions and formulas. Part Two highlights contemporary artists who are using cyanotype, making work that ranges from the photographic to the abstract, from the traditional to the conceptual, with tips on their personal cyanotype methods alongside their work. These artists illustrate cyanotype's widespread use in contemporary photography today, probably the most of any alternative process.

Book features include:

A brief discussion of the practice of the process with some key historical points

How to set up the cyanotype OdimroomO

The most extensive discussion of suitable papers to date, with data from 100+ papers

Step-by-step digital negative methods for monochrome and duotone negatives
