Skin, Ink and Soul I (Cyanotype)
This image comes from my first photo assignment of the term--a series called "Skin, Ink and Soul." A very close friend agreed to pose for me so I could photograph her and her tattoos with a pinhole camera. It was a lot of fun. The next assignment is a series of cyanotypes, so in class the other day we learned how to make a cyanotype and each made one image. I actually really like how it looks in the cyanotype. This one isn't perfect--the application of the chemicals wasn't very even so I have bits of darker and lighter cyan, but there is a definite learning curve for this process.
