Cyanotypes
While usually cyanotypes are created by mixing two chemicals with water before mixing the solutions in equal parts and soaking some cotton rich paper with it, which then - once it is dried - is exposed to UV light to create the photograph, the cyanotypes here are created digitally from color RAW files which I developed in Lightroom and converted into Cyanotypes in Silver Efex Pro.
