| First-to-Reserve Gets the Photograph | | Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed with Every Photograph Purchased | | First Time Buyer Guide | | Cyanotypes The cyanotype process is a historic photographic printing technique first invented in the 1840s. Artists use a solution of ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide, which reacts to ultraviolet light to create Prussian blue images. After coating paper (often cotton rag paper) with the solution and allowing it to dry, they place objects or negatives on top and expose the assemblage to sunlight or UV light. Washing the print in water both stops the exposure and stabilizes the deep blue image. While artists can make cyanotype prints in edition, each work is a unique piece.
Note: Some collectors like the organic brush strokes and edges from the paper being coated, others prefer to mat these out when framed. Please consider these photographs for your collection. | | | | Looking for a specific photograph? Want a larger print of an image we list? Building a particular collection theme? Email us.

Artist statement: In the bright summer sun, I was drawn to the sculptural shapes of this agave plant. I noticed the light caught the edges and spines of the leaves beautifully. Using cyanotype to print this image with rich blue tones gave a luminous quality and emphasized the forms with a surreal, dramatic quality. | | | | | | | | Title: Tulips

Artist statement: Fading cut tulips removed from a vase and set on our kitchen counter to be replaced by a fresh bouquet. The light was as perfect as the tulips were imperfect. The scene was captured with as shallow a depth of field as I could to add a layer of texture and mystery. I printed in cyanotype to provide a sense of nostalgia and of time passing and of course for the beautiful monochromatic blue. | | | | | | | | Title: Stilled Flight

Artist statement: The Silenced Series portrays my obsession with natural history. Collecting specimens removes their history, allowing them to be preserved. “Silenced” is my response to our collective loss of songbirds. Photographing deceased birds and taxidermy displays conveys what is missing, songs. Printing cyanotype on sheet music returns their songs to them. | | | | | | | | Title: Pukimna Series 04

Artist statement: I like using cyanotype for its timeless and mysterious side. The vagueness of the where and when, territory and time frame, gives a path to dreams and wanderings, to another reality. For this project blending different technics reinforce the dreamlike side of the legend. In Inuit mythology Pukimna is the guardian of the caribou hordes, goddess of fertility and medicine | | | | | | | | Title: Moon Over Yosemite Valley
Artist: Marek Matusz
Date of image: 2022
Size: 11x14 inches (28x36 cm)
Format: toned cyanotype
Features: signed on back, unique print
Price: $450
Subscriber Price: $375*
(*next 24 hours only, until Oct 9, 9:00 am PST)
Artist statement: Using cyanotype to express the moon and Yosemite actually predates Ansel Adams and his famous photograpg by decades, so it seems to bring some fresh interpretation to the subject matter making it unique and able to stand on its own. Toning cyanotypes takes away the harsh cyanotype hue and "ages" the print. | | | | | | | | Title: Behind Langtry Church

Size: 11x14 inches (28x36 cm)
Format: cyanotype
Features: signed on back, unique print
Price: $400
Subscriber Price: $350*
(*next 24 hours only, until Oct 9, 9:00 am PST)
Artist statement: I work in cyanotype because I love the way this process seems alive as it interacts with the environment, the elements, and the gleanings of the natural world. It may be the simplest of the alternative processes, but it is also both capricious and infinitely variable. | | | | | | | | Title: Wing

Format: cyanotype
Features: signed on back, unique print

Artist statement: I chose cyanotype for its simplicity and magic. Sunlight, water, paper—and an image appears, like a dream. It’s a meditation in blue: a way to pause, feel the moment, and preserve it forever. | | | | V - Vintage - printed within one year of when the photograph was taken, rare
