natural portrait

Anthotype is a natural photo printing technique using light sensitive plant extracts. No chemicals are used in this environmentally friendly alternative printing technique discovered by John Herschel. We just need plants and sunlight.

I created from found photographs, beet juice was used.

Photographs produced by this method continue to fade as they are exposed to light, eventually disappearing. There are rain marks on the top of the photo that has been exposed for 6 days
