Anna Atkins brought the strategy Cyanotype to photography. She made a restricted arrangement of Cyanotype books that reported plants and other vegetation from her seaweed accumulation. She set examples specifically onto covered paper, permitting the activity of light to make a profile impact.
Light-sensitive metal mixes and colorless, water-soluable iron salts, when presented to daylight, structures the compound known as Prussian Blue. Unexposed ranges stayed unaffected which leaves a blue negative picture.
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that gives a cyan-blue print. Blue is normally the fancied and primary color of the foundation. Shades of blue are demonstrated all through these prints which reflect tone. The primary print demonstrates the intricate lines, shapes and patterns the plant makes. The brightest and most dynamic shade is white which emerges against the darker foundation. This print is more dynamic than the second print however the shapes would suggest to the audience that it is seaweed.
In the second Cyanotype print, the colours are not as bright and in this manner mix together more. This suggests the thickness of the plant/petals are decently comparable which brings about the shades being the same and there being a restricted measure of tone.
