  • Cyanotypes Handout
    Cyanotypes Background/Context 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. Equipment needed Ferric Ammonium Citrate Scales 3 containers for mixing (ideally brown glass bottles) Potassium Ferricyanide Measuring Jug Plastic Spoons Protective Equipment: Facemask, Brushes & Sponges Glass or Clear Perspex Gloves & Apron Sunlight or UV Source Water trays Heavy papers approx 300 gsm Found materials such as threads, Acetate/Tracing Paper Black pens/china graph pencils leaves, feathers, buttons etc Mixing the Chemicals Using a plastic spoon mix 25g of ferric ammonium citrate with 100ml of water. In a separate container mix 10g potassium ferricyanide with 100ml water. Mix the two solutions together with a 1:1 ratio immediately before use. Chemical solutions can be stored separately in glass brown bottles for months but ammonium ferric citrate will grow mould which will need sieving out. Coating the Papers Wear gloves when applying the solution. In a dark room or room with a low level light the solution can be applied to paper using a brush - or for even coverage use a sponge brush. Keep the coated papers in the dark and ideally leave to dry flat. Dry coated papers can be kept in a light sealed black bag until exposed in sunlight or using a UV light box. Exposing your Image Using sunlight: Place your objects or acetate image on top of the coated side of the paper and place a piece of glass or clear perspex on top.

    Cyanotype Detailed Instructions Cyanotype Formula, Mixing and Exposing Instructions 1. Dissolve 40 g (approximately 2 tablespoons) Potassium Ferricyanide in 400 ml (1.7 cups) water to create STOCK SOLUTION A. Allow 24 hours for the powder to fully dissolve. 2. Dissolve 100 g (approximately .5 cup) Ferric Ammonium Citrate in 400 ml (1.7 cups) water to create if you have Chemistry Open Stock START HERE STOCK SOLUTION B. Allow 24 hours for the powder to fully dissolve. If using the Cyanotype Sensitizer Set, simply fill each bottle with water, shake and allow 24 hours for the powders to dissolve. 3. In subdued lighting, mix equal parts SOLUTION A and SOLUTION B to create the cyanotype sensitizer. Mix only the amount you immediately need, as the sensitizer is stable just 2-4 hours. if you have the Sensitizer Set START HERE 4. Coat paper or fabric with the sensitizer and allow to air dry in the dark. Paper may be double-coated for denser prints. Fabric may be coated or dipped in the sensitizer. Jacquard’s Cyanotype Fabric Sheets and Mural Fabrics are pre-treated with the sensitizer (as above) and come ready to expose. 5. Make exposures in sunlight (1-30 minutes, depending on conditions) or under a UV light source, placing ob- jects or a film negative on the coated surface to create an image. (Note: Over-exposure is almost always preferred to under-exposure.) The fabric will look bronze in color once fully exposed. 6. Process prints in a tray or bucket of cool water. Wash for at least 5 minutes, changing the water periodically, if you have until the water runs clear.

The project considers the symbiotic relationship between natural plant extracts with ‘Anthotypes’ and raised colours specifically ‘Prussian Blue’ with ‘Cyanotypes’. The aim of which, is to consider the question: Could this kind of photographic image making be applied as a future, sustainable method of design generation, colouration and patterning of fabric for fashion and interiors? Looking at the substantive and the fugitive properties of the colouration materials along side different light wavelengths and analysing the success or failure of using Anthotypes and Cyanotype as an alternative sustainable surface design process can be attained: A form of Eco-patterning that relies upon light and natural substances/dyes not synthetic dyes as the colouring medium. 1. Introduction This paper discusses a research project, which considered the correlation between Natural and Mineral dyes with early 19th Century photographic processes ‘Cyanotypes’ and ‘Anthotypes’ as a form of eco-patterning that relies upon light and natural subsantnces as the colouring medium.

  • Press Information
    Press Information photokina 2018: Visitors to the Leica Camera stand in Hall 2.2 can look forward to a discovering a comprehensive portfolio of products and services Wetzlar, 6 September 2018. The focus of Leica’s appearance at photokina 2018 in Cologne is not only set on the extremely diverse product portfolio of the traditional manufacturer from Wetzlar, but also on the Leitz Park itself. At Leica, everything has always revolved around the picture, the school of visualisation, the history of photography, the vibrancy of photographic culture and the people behind the cameras – in other words, DAS WESENTLICHE. Since the opening of the Leitz Park complex on 15 June 2018, all this is now a visible and tangible experience. In the open-plan, newly conceived Leica stand in Hall 2.2, visitors can find information and comprehensive advice about the broad spectrum of Leica products and services for all photographic applications and scenarios. The demonstration area has now been split into thematic areas to provide easier orientation for professionals, amateurs and other visitors interested in particular Leica products or services. While the ‘Professional’ area concentrates on the Leica S and its lenses and products from Sinar Photography, the ‘Systems’ area focuses on the Leica SL, the Leica M and the APS-C cameras of the Leica CL and Leica TL systems – and, of course, the full range of corresponding Leica precision lenses. The ‘Compact’ area is dedicated to the Leica Q, Leica D-Lux, Leica V-Lux, Leica X-U and Leica C-Lux cameras and the Leica Sofort instant picture camera.

  • Press Information
    Press information Free for release after: 28 April 2016, 3 p.m. (CET) LEICA M-D – the new digital Leica rangefinder without a monitor screen Wetzlar, 28 April 2016. With the Leica M-D (Typ 262), Leica Camera AG adds a further model to the Leica rangefinder system. Together with the Leica M and M-P (Typ 240), the Leica M (Typ 262) and the Leica M Monochrome (Typ 246), this increases the number of digital M-Generation cameras to five. The Leica M-D is the first serial production model of the digital M family to be made without a monitor screen. The usual location of the screen on the back of the camera is now taken by the ISO sensitivity setting dial – one of the few, but essential, features of the camera. Although the Leica M-D embodies the entire range of technical advantages perfected over decades in the Leica rangefinder system, it intentionally omits all but the most essential technical features. Radically reduced to the most important parameters required for photography – shutter speed, aperture, distance and ISO sensitivity – it promotes its users’ concentration on what is essential: the picture. To a large extent, the technical features of the Leica M-D are based on those of the Leica M (Typ 262). Just like all other digital M-Cameras, the Leica M-D (Typ 262) features a high- resolution CMOS full-frame sensor, albeit one that is dedicated exclusively to rangefinder photography, and supports neither video recording nor Live View. Its 24-megapixel resolution ensures exceptional imaging quality and extreme sensitivity to light.

The grey cloud is low, and the rain is steady, but the muted light is just perfect for the subject matter all around me, namely waves lapping around the artfully sculpted blocks of ice on the black sand. Now I’ve seen many images of this unique combination before – it’s an Icelandic photographic staple – but there’s no resisting the appeal of such stark, elemental beauty. In fact it’s a beauty that is enhanced by the flat lighting, a cold scene of black and blue with simple graphic appeal. But as so often is the case here in Iceland the conditions are difficult: apart from the rain, salty spray is being driven inshore off the waves and onto my increasingly crusty camera, lens and filter. So be it, such adversity is now familiar.
