About The Magic of Cyanotype: Printing with the Sun

There is a quiet alchemy in cyanotype that digital photography just cannot replicate. You start by coating your paper with a light-sensitive solution, then arrange local botanicals or found objects directly on the surface, and let the Bengaluru sun do the rest. The result is a deep Prussian blue print that feels more like a physical memory than a photograph.
