About our Cyanotypes

Our production begins with the development of black and white analog photographic film. We adapt the negative to the cyanotype technique, then expose it by contact to the sun. Subsequently, it is developed in various water baths and additives to achieve the desired contrast and intensity of blue. Once the process is complete, a UV protective layer is applied to ensure the work's durability over time. All works are signed and stamped with the corresponding development date.
