Gum bichromate

Cyanotype

Gum bichromate is a 19th-century photographic printing process based on the light sensitivity of dichromates. Gum printing is traditionally a multi-layered printing process









A Cyanotype is a printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple  process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints.

Use of Textures



















Wet-plate process, also called collodion process , is an early photographic technique invented by Englishman Frederick Scott Archer in 1851. Wet plates are generally gray scale.The imperfections in each photo caused by debris, scratches, and changes in chemical reaction are what make them unique.

Alternative Process through Digital Means

Gum Bichromate

I created this gum dichromate by layering three colorful brush layers onto the photo. I then lowered the saturation so that the photo was almost back and white, while to outer part of the photo were more colorful.

Cyanotype

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. I created these by using layering and brush tools in photoshop. 
Then I added the blue filter to create the cyanotype.



   


Wet plate

I created this wet plate by adding textures to the photo and tinting it light brown. Then I added the framing to create an historical looking photo.
