Daguerreotypes

To make this daguerreotype I used a picture of a bouquet and edited it to have a sepia tint to it. I changed the curves so it looked slightly metallic and used a concrete wall overlay. I added a tin metal frame and erased the original photo and faded the texture out.

Extra Daguerreotype

Cyanotype

To make this cyanotype, I made the photo black and white and then added a blue tint to it. I adjusted the colors and added a slight blur to the photo. Then, I painted a new layer white and used a brush to make the white gradually fade into my photo.

Extra Cyanotype

Gum Bichromate

For my gum bichromate I took the same steps I did for my cyanotype, however I painted on multiple colors. I also added a watercolor texture over the photo. I used yellows, pinks, and blues instead of just having a blue tint.
