Paper Sunography: Solar Powered Photography

By Noted

Place any object or transparency on the Sunography Paper or Fabric, expose in bright sunlight, and rinse with water to reveal a rich blue print. This kit includes:

• 90lb heavy weight 100% cotton watercolour paper
• Six 5×7” (12.7 x 17.8 cm) sheets enclosed in each pack
• Each sheet printable on both sides
• Prints a rich “Prussian blue” colour when exposed
• Easy to tint , hand colour, or decorate once exposed.

Sunography is a great platform for creativity. Use old photo negatives, x-rays, bits of lace, leaves, printed transparencies or even household objects to compose designs. Sunlight sensitive material (the cyanotype) was a forerunner of modern photographic processes. This type of printing dates back to 1842 and was popularized by Anna Atkin, one of the first female photographers.
