Reyes-+Cyanotype



John Dugdale’s created the “Stillness of Spirit” image, which is the image of the back of the naked person. The cyanotype process that he used is iron compounds as its light sensitive material. The emulsion is applied by brush to hand-made watercolor paper, and the resulting print is blue in tone. This artist used the elements of texture when they focused very closely and perfect on the persons back showing all the detail in the back and the hair. They also used the principles of balance by putting the image right in the middle of the frame making the art work more eye catching.

 Eugene de Salignac’s created the “Manhattan Bridge” photo with gelatin-silver and cyanotype prints and also used glass plate and acetate negatives and is a negative-based image. This artist used the art elements of line and texture when they took a photo of a bridge and its leading lines making the image more interesting. They also used texture by having good focus on the photo making it more realistic. They also used the principle of movement by getting the cars at under the brdge in her image making the photo become more alive.



Anna Atkins’s created the “Honey Locust Leaf and Pod” photo which is the photo of the leaves and she used paper to make her cyanotype. This is a photogram/contact print-based image. This artist used the elements of shape by really making the photo clear of what it is, a leaf. She also used the principle of emphasis when she made the artwork really pop out by having great detail on her image.
