Cyanotype with iPhone photos - Creative Photography - ProCamera

Please join us for our second installment of "In Focus" - a series that explores what happens when creative professionals and ProCamera come together. In this episode we introduce you to photographer and physicist Jörg Heieck, and join him in his studio as he uses negatives taken with ProCamera to create cyanotypes, a nearly 200-year-old analog printing technique that results in stunning Prussian blue prints.
Directed by Lance Hewison.

The music is enough for me to keep watching. Thank-you

Lovely video! Thank you for sharing your artistic process. I’ve done a few Cyanotypes and will do many more as it’s so much fun. Now that it’s spring, I can’t wait to press some leaves and flowers to use too!

[@ProCamera]

Thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed it. Wishing you lots of fun with your Cyanotype-adventures!

Thanks so much! We really enjoyed making this one. We made another one in this style shot in Berlin if you haven’t seen it yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWGbZZ2gesStaKs

this was great, I am just starting to try cyanotype, have a made couple negs and in next day or so will make a couple prints.

[@TinyEpics]

Nice! How did it go for you?

[@dougc3529]

I want to make large cyanotypes. I have a 3x5 glass tabletop that is 3/4 in thick. Will the thickness of the glass affect the process?

Hey, What amazing prints! I am struggling a bit. I don't know what it is that I'm doing wrong. I mix my solutions, paste my paper in my cellar, wait till the next day when they are dry then place the digital negatives face down with glass on top, my prints start to turn a golden bronze, I then rinse and no blue appears? Is this because it hasn't fully exposed? I see in your video your prints are already turning blue whilst in the sun. What do you reckon? At college I used a UV machine, first time attempting the sun. perhaps my solutions are mixed incorrectly? I hear people say mix equal parts, but online everyone pretty much does 25g .. and then 10g, which is confusing to me also is it because its not sunny anymore and they would just take hours in the light conditions that I'm in. I don't want to lose hope, but running out of solution and paper and haven't made a single print :(... I have hot pressed 310gsm paper. I did 3 hours on a typical English day and still no results. Many thanks, Harriet

Hi Harriet! I read that using cold pressed watercolor paper works the best...

[@tomwootton6731]

thank you for this video. Really good! Did you print the negative onto acetate or onto paper before the exposure?

[@danatookatumble]

They’re printed onto transparent sheets

[@marciatrivellato516]

Or Translucent Vellum Paper

[@latentimagelabhk]

It is difficult to print negative larger than a3 😢

[@susieleigh4177]

Hi, I’m wondering what paper you print the transparent negative on? Does anybody know?

[@marciatrivellato516]

Translucent Vellum Paper or acetate sheet

[@JayJayNay]

Can the negatives be printed on any kind of inkjet printer? Like an Epson ecotank? Does it need specific ink? And what is that non toxic solution they talk about. This is incredibly interesting. I have thousands of photos sitting there on hard drives doing nothing. Thank you for your answers. I appreciate

Same here would printer to use

Hi! They talk about Cyanografic solution. It's a mixture of two different chemicals; there are also recipies with more ingredients but this will do the trick and is not harmful. If you add some kind of acid this can lead to harmful substances or gases! There are also Kits of these two chemicals availiable; they are premixed or at least in correct ratio and just need to be filled up with water. In my opinion any inkjet printer will do; the really dark spots of a picture need to be as black as possible, many printers have a "Photo-Option" or something. If its too light you can print out more than one negative and stack them. Hope this helps :)

[@cecilycaceu2943]

Do you know what type of transparency Jorg uses to print his digital negatives?

[@YogaBetter]

The best for all contact printing is Pictorico ohp. Pricey but flawless.

[@plt927]

I use the transparacies that were ment for overhead projectors with reasonable results
