Cyanotype

Cyanotype is one of the oldest and most distinctive alternative photographic processes, based on light-sensitive iron compound reactions. The process produces images with a characteristic blue tone; however, contemporary alternative photography also includes toned cyanotypes, where the colour can be modified across a wide range—from deep blacks, through violets, to aubergine shades.

In this category, you will find high-quality cyanotype chemicals, photographic reagents, and materials necessary for iron-based photographic processes. We offer products intended both for classic cyanotype and for experimental toning processes and image modification.

Cyanotype – photographic technique

The cyanotype process is based on light-sensitive iron salts that form a permanent image under UV light exposure. It is highly valued in alternative photography, contemporary art, and art education due to its simplicity, repeatability, and distinctive aesthetic.
