I will create a custom cyanotype portrait

Photo session and creation of original cyanotype print. During the photo session I focus on capturing the spirit of the chosen subject(s), as well as any objects, settings or backgrounds that have meaning for you. We edit down to favorite images. Then a 5-step process begins ending in a unique cyanotype print. 

I layer the chosen images into a composition, often I do this by removing the background of the photo and layering in the special one(s) chosen, & create a completely new composition. I have used this process for custom portraits as well as fine art pieces. 

The cyanotype photographic process, invented in 1842, is the original "blue print" process, creating a Prussian Blue UV exposure. These blue-tone prints give an effect to the image as if stepping a century backwards, while still solidly rooted in the present. They visually transport to an earlier time, appearing dreamlike or surreal. 

Each cyanotype print is unique. Cyanotype using sunlight is a time-exposure which depends on time of day/ angle of the sun, changes in weather, intensity of sun etc. These differences appear in the exposure, affecting the result.
