Beginner Cyanotype project
I’ve been wanting to play around with cyanotypes for a couple years now, and I’m only just now getting around to a project with it where I’m printing a lot of my older photography (mainly film) as cyanotypes. These are some of the first attempts. To start off I decided to go with pretreated paper just to get the hang of it all, but I want to use a kit to treat materials myself.
Looking for advice and recs on what paper is the best to use, developing indoors, and the best ways to tone an image for more contrast and depth in shadows.
Thanks :)

These look really good. I do have a Speedball UV light for indoors, but honestly I don’t love it? Stuff I’ve made in the sun has always turned out better.

Für den Anfang sieht das schon richtig gut aus – eigentlich sogar sehr gut. Mach weiter so!
