How to Make your Own Cyanotype Prints

🔴 Here is a simple tutorial about Cyanotype printing.
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

Thanks for all your kind messages during my week with Covid-19, i am now feeling way better, and strong enough to finish this video and make new ones !
take care and stay home to fight this virus !

This is so awesome. Making cyanotype prints can be a pain at first while you're getting your groove and start getting the results you want. Specially when you get that one photo that you just nailed it when printing it in cyanotype is very rewarding.

You should use 2 droppers or clean it really well between products A and B or you will contaminate each product and reduce their shelf life !

Great job Mathieu, doing cyanotypes is not hard but perfecting them is difficult. I did a tutorial on my channel a few months ago how to create cyanotypes in medium format cameras, you may be surprised at the results.

looks like you got a taste of analog photography when we met :) I would love to see you shooting 4x5 and doing prints of it - for a starter medium format would also be great. Love the second portrait a lot!!!

Thank you! This explain exactly how I can turn my art into Cyanotype prints!

Thanks for showing the difference with and without peroxide. I have been wondering why it matters to have it because some people use water only. The peroxide definitely makes it look more clear.

I'll be trying out Mike Ware's "new cyanotype" formula soon. It's stated advantages are shorter exposure times, deeper blues which don't was off, and a long shelf life. One drawback: you need to create the formula yourself using a mortar and pestle as well as using a thermometer. One huge advantage: the finished formula is one bottle - no more 1:1 measuring is required. 😀

I knew it! Strong as horse! Your art and love made you strong! So happy to get this good news, buddy! It's funny, because I was thinking about you and your wife last night at dinner.

You crushed it! Totally awesome! This is a great way to start a day. Good news and a coffee, the perfect breakfast. 😉

Hey Matthieu great video! I bought this kit some time ago and thought I would finally try it out today. I was going to do some photogram style sun prints but after seeing your beautiful work I’m going to make some negatives and use those. Very inspiring, thanks!
