Description this is a cameraless photograph made from an ironwork rubbing. this is a cyanotype like some of the other images i have uploaded here over the years, it is made by light sensitive emulsion i coat on paper, it iron based, unlike black and white film and paper, which is silver based. this isn't a photogram, i didn't place objects on the light sensitive paper and make an image from the light the things might have blocked, but instead i made a rubbing, and converted it into a paper negative ... and contact printed the paper negative to make the cyanotype. i lightly bleached the resulting blue print ( cyanotype ) was inverted and painted it in photoshop ( this is a negative ) the original prints will be colored with watercolors and crayon,it is part of an ongoing series.
J Nanian, Warwick, RI Member Since November 2007 Artist Statement Hello, I am a working photographer, who uses a variety of processes to make photographs. Most work here originates as a sheet of paper, glass metal or plastic that is coated with light sensitive materials. I use coffee as a film and paper developer. Some of the photographs you see here are made using a 200 year old process and the images are photographs that are unstable. Scanning them is the only way to preserve them. Other images here are cyanotypes, a process invented in the 1840s that uses 2 iron based compounds that convert to a stable image when in the presence of ultra violet light.
