Artwork description:

The art piece is an image from my Ethiopian Travels series.
I visited and photographed unique tribes, trying to capture their authentic beauty and aesthetics.
The cyanotype technique is especially significant because the image that you get resembles a graphic painting, with a vintage look.
-I sometimes use coffee or tea toning to achieve a vintage, sepia look, different from the original sun print's many shades of blue.
For many years of my career as a photographer, I am on the search for something new, something unique. That’s when I started recreating my photos using old, forgotten technique, called Sun print –Cyanotype photography, which is an exclusive and distinctive art form that was created by English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1842.

Materials used:

Cyanotype , Paper
