Project 7 - Alternative Process Through Digital Means

For this project, we used Photoshop to make our pictures look like different types of non-digital photography. I made both a cyanotype and a daguerreotype. Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that results in a blue-cyan print. It is created by using the two chemicals ammonium iron (III) citrate and potassium ferricyanide. Daguerreotype is another printing process in which images are taken with a daguerreotype camera, and are printed on metal plates. This results in a more textured photograph with darker, brown/black hues.
