Cyanotype

how it goes?

I'm not familiar with the process, but the results are fabulous.

I wonder if the model used was of somebody less beautiful, would the effect be the same.

incredible!!

Cyantotypes are so beautiful and you've done this really well! I'm so envious that you've taught yourself these wonderful old techniques for modern photography.

There is a remark above asking whether the photo would be as good if the model was less beautiful. It's rather like asking if the sauce would be as nice if the tomatos were less good. With all respect, it's a silly comment and I get them too. This is a beautiful glamour picture, highlighted through a very personal and attractive treatment of the print. I am sure that you photograph old ladies too. It may not be glamour anymore, but that will not stop the picture being equally interesting.

Great image, excellent use of this process.

The skin tones and texture are incredible...

Makes me want to do this process again.

 

Emil, I enjoy printing my own photos as well and was wondering if anyone knows of anyplace to learn this sort of old style printing? Emil, All of your photos are amazing and make me more motivated to go out and take shots.

Incredible image, very sensual. Gorgeous model. Very impressive...

good model!

stunning.

sensual. very good

excellent work, veldig bra!

In this particular case, the model's beauty is secondary. The pose, the sweep of her hair, the lighting, and the mystery in her eyes make the picture. The fact that she is gorgeous is icing on the cake.

 

Nicely done.

great photo- her expression really matches the tone

Superb.
