Cyanotype workshop - simple technique, exceptional effect

Cyanotype is one of the older techniques of fine art photography. It used to be used to create reproductions, today it is classified as alternative photography. When making prints, the photosensitivity of iron salts is used - hence the blue color. Cyanotype gives the ability to create images by contact, that is, by laying objects directly on paper coated with a photosensitive substance. Sounds complicated? Nothing could be further from the truth! The whole process is simple and intriguing, and completely safe. I will guide you through it step by step.
