CAMERA LESS CYANOTYPE: HERBARIUM

In this post, I would like to share my exploration using the camera-less cyanotype process with the theme of the herbarium. As a visual art student, I have always been captivated by the intersection of art, nature, and science, and this project allowed me to delve deeper into this connection.


Using the cyanotype process without using a camera, I was able to capture the intricate details of various plant specimens, creating delicate blue-prints similar to traditional herbarium print collections. Each of the specimens was carefully arranged on a coated paper with solutions of iron salts and exposed to UV light to create unique compositions.
