The cyanotype process was invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842, only three years after the official announcement of the daguerreotype. One of the first artistic practitioners of the cyanotype photogram process was Anna Atkins, who became well-known for her portfolios of British algae, and is considered by many to be the first woman photographer. The process of “reversed” cyanotype photograms is a fun variation on the usual process.

In the morning, participants will make photograms on ortho film in the darkroom. These will be used in the afternoon to make cyanotypes in which the usual tones are reversed. By dodging, burning, and using different exposure times on the ortho film, you can create different shades of blue in the background areas.

In this one day workshop, Martha Casanave will present a nuts and bolts methodical approach to environmental portraiture. Keeping in mind that the photographer is often as nervous as the sitter, we will discuss ways to increase the comfort level for both.

We will do an on-location environmental portrait in Carmel using Polaroid materials to demonstrate each step in the process. Other topics to be addressed are composition, and use of natural lighting.

Participants should bring their film or digital camera equipment. There will be time for an outdoor portrait session and for photographing the models after Martha has finished the demonstration sitting. Those participants using film cameras will need to bring a roll of film for outside photographing and a roll of film suitable for indoor photography (e.g. ISO 400).

The catalogue for Martha’s solo exhibit, Martha Casanave: Forty Years of Portraits, will be available for purchase during this workshop.
