Cyanotype photography gives me a quiet way to connect with the natural world. I am drawn to observing rather than interrupting—to gathering small moments, textures, patterns, and natural forms that might otherwise go unnoticed. Through cyanotype, I can slow down and transform these discoveries into images that reveal the beauty hidden within the ordinary.
Nature has inspired artists and writers for centuries, and cyanotype has a unique place within the history of photography. This camera-less process allows me to work directly with the natural world, using plants, organic forms, sunlight, and chemistry to create each image.
I place natural objects on paper coated with a light-sensitive solution and expose them to UV light. After washing the paper with water, the objects are revealed as luminous white silhouettes against the distinctive Prussian blue of the cyanotype.
For me, cyanotype is about more than creating an image. It is a process of observation, discovery, and connection—a way of preserving fleeting moments from nature while celebrating the uncommon beauty found in the everyday.
