Cyanotype is one of the first photographic techniques ever invented. It was developed in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. Making prints using this technique is great fun and a fantastic introduction to the secrets of analogue photography. Cyanotype is a safe method that may be used to obtain prints of plants, flowers or cut-outs, which gain a beautiful blue hue in the resulting image. The image is created through contact-based exposure of objects on paper soaked in a light-sensitive solution that becomes darker under the influence of sunlight.
