Cyanotype printing is a classic photographic process invented in the mid-19th century. It involves coating paper with a light-sensitive solution of iron salts, then placing objects or negatives on the coated surface and exposing it to UV light. This creates striking Prussian blue images, celebrated for their dreamy, monochromatic tones. A perfect blend of art and science, cyanotypes offer a hands-on, experimental approach to crafting unique visuals.

My fascination with cyanotypes began during a holiday visit to a small outdoor market. I was instantly drawn to the deep, mesmerizing blue tones and the otherworldly beauty of the prints on display. The idea that sunlight and chemistry could transform everyday objects into hauntingly beautiful, dreamlike images left me in awe. Inspired, I decided to try my hand at the process. My first attempt was messy but undeniably magical. Since then, cyanotypes have become a cherished medium for me — a way to blend my love for nature, art and the joy of experimentation into a single, expressive form.
