Infrared Cyanotypes

2019-12-20

Using the obsolete digital camera featured in Lumix TZ10 infrared conversion. I combined defunct digital technology with traditional print making.

The images

Making the cyanotypes

The digital images are inverted and prepared for a4 printing. I used Permajet digital transfer film, using an inkjet printer that is not suitable and needs persuasion.

To create the cyanotype I use an old photo frame to press the negative to the cyanotype emulsion. I leave the frame in the shade to exposure for one hour, finding that using indirect light within the shade leads to an even exposure.
