Cyanotype printing is one of the oldest and most accessible alternative photographic printing processes. Recognised for its deep Prussian blue tones and handcrafted workflow, cyanotype combines photography, chemistry, paper, ultraviolet light, and experimentation into a highly tactile image-making process. Botanical toning extends the process further by transforming the original blueprint into earthy browns, muted greys, sepia tones, and textured surfaces using natural ingred

Blue was only the beginning. The print still had more to reveal through water, chemistry, and time. When blue no longer felt enough Right after returning from the UK and making my first cyanotype prints in India, I was eager to explore every possible variation within the process. The blue itself fascinated me. Watching an image emerge slowly through chemistry, ultraviolet light, water, and time already felt transformative. Yet during my workshops in the UK, I also briefly enc

Before I understood cyanotype, blue was just a colour. Now, it feels like a memory slowly appearing on paper. When the photograph still felt unfinished There came a point in my photographic journey when I realized that making the image was not enough. I was developing my films, scanning them carefully, and spending time understanding the negatives. Yet, even after all of that, it felt incomplete. The photograph still existed behind a screen, distant from the physicality I had

What if the photograph isn’t the final step? And what if some images don’t end when they are taken? What if you want to feel the image- the subtle, happy feeling of holding an image? The beginning: capturing everything My journey with photography did not begin with printing. It began, as it does for many of us, with a digital camera and an eagerness to capture everything that moved me. In those early days, I photographed freely. Anything that caught my attention became a fram
