More than Photography

Cyanotype is one of the earliest printing processes that do not use silver coating and therefore quite simple to execute. The printing is done by contact and involves UV rays (i.e the sun), so no need for the darkroom.
You can contact print your negatives or even digital photos printed into film transparency but here I experimented with printing from a paper negative. Paper negative demands a longer exposure in the sun but the final image has a unique fiber-like quality to it.
