lumen prints from plants in the garden

Dark Room /
I started using the Some Cities community dark room in Birmingham to make black and white prints, and I'm getting a bit obsessed with the filed out neg carrier. I love seeing the whole frame.
Cyanotypes /
All prints have been hand made using the traditional cyanotype process on heavy weight acid-free art paper.
Cyanotypes involve applying light sensitive emulsion by brush and then exposing the image directly onto the paper with either sunlight or in the case of British winters, UV lamp.
Each one is individually made - variations in brush strokes and the intensity of UV mean that every print is unique.
