C'est merveilleux ! Ça me rappelle d'utiliser la lumière liquide. Je vais essayer ça avec mes 5e graders. On fait aussi des transferts Polaroid. Thank you!
I love the frame you used to make the contact print. Can I ask where you go that and what it is called? It is so much more elegant than my clothespin and glass solution.
How long does it take for the chemicals to dry on the paper? And also what is the thing you use to hang the picture at the end while it's drying?? So cool!!!
Hi, your video is most informative. How do you turn a photo into a negative? Hopefully, I will hear from you. I have done cyanotype before but now I am going further for a college Photography Project and want to add this type of processing to what I already know. Thank you in advance.
So, I dunno if anyone else here has had this, but my chemicals have to be contaminated from the source I got them from (Amazon) I used distilled water and added it into each of the bottles, I use separate eye-droppers to measure out part A and part B, never using the "A" eye dropper in the "B" mixture and vice-versa, yet, when I add B to the little puddle of A in the mixing dish, it instantly turns deep blue. As a result, my exposures don't turn out right. Anyone else have similar?
Hi! I've been trying to experiment with cyanotype for a few weeks now but every single time I go to put my pieces in the water after exposure, they completely wash out and no photos actually develop. I've experimented with exposure times, and even ordered more chemicals in case the first batch was tainted in some way, but no luck. Do you know what could be going wrong?
Hello Jennifer maybe you didn't mix the two solution 50/50 ? or simply you didn't exposed enough time in the sun. try 15 min first in bright sun, if it don't work, try 45 min in winter sun
You’ll need to invert it before printing, and then you can print it out on normal printer paper and use a tissue to wipe cooking oil over the back of the print- let it dry and it’ll be transparent :)
Merci Mathieu pour cet excellent tutoriel 👍🏻 Question : Dans la vidéo, vous utilisez un pinceau-mousse au lieu d'un pinceau plat classique ... pour quelles raisons ?
It will much cooler to see a painting done with cyanotype then exposed with a film and see the result as a double exposure image rather than a regular square frame
Can you provide a video on how to make the large film? I use a large canon printer, I have heard that only Epson is capable of printing the transparency needed to make the image
Hi Mathieu! Your work, what you do here is an amazing work... You helped a lot with inspiring me (and I'm sure that you inspired all of your followers in vintage photography). What do you think? If I make some 35mm paper pieces and put some beetroot juice on them then put them in my old cmeha camera and I put it to bulb mode and shoot a couple of weeks exposure with those little beetroot papers, would it work? Or this method only works for printing exposures?😃
IT should work, but we are speaking about weeks, and weeks, because it's winter. Also the beetroot will maybe start to loos pigments faster than the image will appear. and in the end you will have a negative. i would advise to do the same experiment but with cyanotype instead, it will work in days and not weeks.
@@MathieuStern Thank you so much!😃 I will try it as soon as I will have the components for the cyanotype.. cause I don't have it home i would purchase it, and I will do it when I would have enough pocket money.😁 And thank you for answering, you know it means you are a really good content creator, because you care of your followers too.😃 A lots of others would probably never answer.
I can't wait to try this! I have a question about the vinegar, though - how much do you add? And I assume if you add hydrogen peroxide, you wouldn't add vinegwr, correct? Thanks!
Vinegar us is for making the print more graduated , don't add too much, just 8 to 10 drops. After that you can add hydrogen peroxide if your not patient like me, but if you just wait 24h it will become blue anyway
Bonjour Mathieu, ne sachant pas à quel point le liquide de préparation du papier est toxique ni s'il se dilue beaucoup dans le mélange de rinçage eau / vinaigre, je me demandais si on pouvait simplement vider ce mélange de rinçage dans l'évier ou si on devait le déposer en déchetterie ?
Salut Estelle, aucun soucis, le cyanotype n'est pas toxique si tu ne le l'ingèrere pas, il faut hésiter d'en avoir sur la peau, mais c'est plus a cause des taches que de la toxicité, tu peu vider le reste dans l'évier sans trop de stresse, si tu en as beaucoup a jeter alors tu peux l'apporter a un endroit qui gère les produits chimique, mais on parle de jeter plusieurs litres a la fois.
Bonjour, à chaque fois quej’ai essayé le cyanotype, mon bleu est trop parti du papier, mais je ne mettais pas de vinaigre, c’est ça qui fait fixateur ? Sinon peut-être est ce mon papier aquarelle qui est trop lisse ? Votre avis ? Merci
How do you turn the picture into a negative? How long do you rinse the image? Can you use any picture for this? Can you do this on fabric like a t-shirt or just paper? Thank you. Cool video.
Hey not sure about timing since I did this so long ago, but I’ve done cyanotypes on fabric and I’m 99% sure we just used the same stuff as this video shows on paper!
You can buy SPEEDBALL brand transparent sheets..like clear plastic paper. You can put them in a printer and print images on them. OR you can actually take a real film negative from like a 35mm camera.. scan it and then enlarge it and print it on to the transparent sheets. But you should be able yo print anything you want from the internet etc onto the transparent sheets and use those. It helps if you are using leaves or stuff like that to put a piece of glass over top of it if you are foung it outside in the sun..so it won't blow away. You can use paper, fabric like canvas of a t-shirt. Just experiment.
Great video, someone does need to make some videos about alternative photographic processes, there is a wonderful book "Spirits of Salts: A Working Guide to Old Photographic Processes" by Martin Reed and Randall Webb it would be worth a read if you don't already have it, but be warned it could lead you down the rabbit hole.
Perso j'ai appris en deux bac pour le développement, un premier, juste de l'eau et le deuxième eau et peroxyde d'hydrogène. Pourquoi est-ce que tu le fais en 1 avec du vinaigre? Est-ce qu'il y a une différence outre une étape de moins?
le peroxyde c'est juste si t veux accélérer le process d'assombrissement , mais si tu laisse ton print quelques heures a l'air libre il fera pareil et ça sera moins violent. le vinaigre aide a avoir plus de dégradés dans les ombres.
So mesmerizing to see that image to appear on the paper. Beautiful. Thank you.
Great to see you back on some good health and creative work!
The blue is just so beautiful, I've done a lot of cyanotypes lately inspired by your first video about it, thank you :)
Great to hear! maybe you can share a link to your cyanotypes
Me too 👍
C’est tellement beau!!! C’est une superbe idée!!
Wonderful print 😍 Thank you for this explanatory video!
that turned out beautifully
Thank you so much for this video. Really wanna try this out
Wow cool!

Can not wait to try this! Thank you Mathieustern!
Thanks a lot for the video! I really need to try this now :)
You should!
Fantastic

So mesmerising as a professional photographer and being an Army , thanks to BTS , Namjoon.. I am so gonna try this now.
Thanks a ton 💜
Hi! Love your art. What type of paper is the transparent paper? Do you print it at home?
Wonderful!
Glad you think so!
Thanks for sharing!!
My pleasure!!
Amazing !
Glad you think so!
Beautiful contact print. You could also take the photo on negative film to begin with.
Nice work! 👍
Thanks! 👍
Inspiring.

So nice ✨
Thanks 🤗
Hello. Which printer should I use for making transparenties? Thank you! Marcel
Is it possible to buy chemicals seperately to create this. I cannot find a ready to use mixture for sale on my country.
Is it necessary to turn the photo into black and white and then into a negative? or you can simply print out just a negative in all its colours?
Here's a silly question, where did you get that flat ended eye dropper? I've looked all over for those. Thanks
Thanks Mathieu, very nice and interesting video, as always. Any tips, advice or brand regarding the UV lamp ?
I found mine on Amazon for 30$ , i think it was UV LED lamp for parties and events.
Which printer to use to print digital negatives on transparencies?
Amazed......again!!?
Hi, your video is most informative. How do you turn a photo into a negative? Hopefully, I will hear from you.
I have done cyanotype before but now I am going further for a college Photography Project and want to add this type of processing to what I already know. Thank you in advance.
Where did you get the clipboard? Love it how it works! Is the name clix?
Is it possible to do this on canvas or wood panel? Do you have to use paper?
Quel est le modèle de la lampe UV ici utilisé ?
merci
can the transparent picture used to create more than one cyanotype?
So, I dunno if anyone else here has had this, but my chemicals have to be contaminated from the source I got them from (Amazon) I used distilled water and added it into each of the bottles, I use separate eye-droppers to measure out part A and part B, never using the "A" eye dropper in the "B" mixture and vice-versa, yet, when I add B to the little puddle of A in the mixing dish, it instantly turns deep blue.

hell yeah

You’ll need to invert it before printing, and then you can print it out on normal printer paper and use a tissue to wipe cooking oil over the back of the print- let it dry and it’ll be transparent :)
Pictorico Pro Ultra Premium OHP-Folie for example.
Maam which paper used for these prints?!
Merci Mathieu pour cet excellent tutoriel 👍🏻 Question : Dans la vidéo, vous utilisez un pinceau-mousse au lieu d'un pinceau plat classique ... pour quelles raisons ?
Ça donne un aspect plus uniforme aux aplats
3:30 what was poured before the white vinegar?? Assuming water?
More more !
It will much cooler to see a painting done with cyanotype then exposed with a film and see the result as a double exposure image rather than a regular square frame
Thank you! My prints turn up way to dark with no contrast or too light and after washed out completely after drying! What do I do wrong?
not mixing the two solutions in equal quantity
Can you provide a video on how to make the large film? I use a large canon printer, I have heard that only Epson is capable of printing the transparency needed to make the image
any inkjet printer will work.
you just need some inkjet transparent paper
Mathieu....thank you very much
@ISAAC ONG ZI EN there are transparencies for laser printers
although not step by step, its still a great print
What side does the negative lay on?

Hello I’m so impressed of the results it’s so beautiful. I Have a question for you
why do you put vinegar with water to develop cyanotype ?
Vinegar helps getting more nuances in your shadows. but don't put too much of it in the water
Mathieu Stern thank you for the tips 🙏
Is it tue same purpose as using hydrogen peroxide? For the oxidation/ blues?
Lovely. Does one need to wear breathing protection using those chemicals?
No, they're not known to be toxic

Watercolor paper

Super, merci pour ton retour ! J'ai vraiment hâte de tester cette technique (et celle avec le jus de betterave !). Bel été :)
Bonjour, à chaque fois quej’ai essayé le cyanotype, mon bleu est trop parti du papier, mais je ne mettais pas de vinaigre, c’est ça qui fait fixateur ? Sinon peut-être est ce mon papier aquarelle qui est trop lisse ? Votre avis ? Merci
soit le temps d'exposition n'était pas assez long, soit le papier n'est pas assez absorbant, soit ton mélange n'est pas de 50/50 des deux solution.
Mathieu Stern ok, je parierai sur le papier trop lisse, je vais refaire un essai avec un autre papier aquarelle. Le vinaigre sert à quoi sinon ?
Hi... what is the function of the white vinegar? Thanks in advance!
i have this queustion as well. scanning thru comments to see if it's answered.
it was answered: Vinegar helps getting more nuances in your shadows. but don't put too much of it in the water

What printer do you use to print your negatives?
I would like to know too is it okay to use regular printer?
song?
Hi, how do you convert the digital image into a negative?
Invert it in Photoshop or a similar program.
Great video, someone does need to make some videos about alternative photographic processes, there is a wonderful book "Spirits of Salts: A Working Guide to Old Photographic Processes" by Martin Reed and Randall Webb it would be worth a read if you don't already have it, but be warned it could lead you down the rabbit hole.
My small apartment is already full of stuff , i feel going more deep into chemicals will be a problem :))

What paper do you use? I use super expensive arches hot press paper but with all these misprints I make...
A4 250mg "paint on" paper, it's 9 euros the 50 pages.
3:16 do you mean under the sun for 30 minutes or 8 hours and 30 minutes...?
Woah! Where can I find one of those “clix” printing frames?? 👀
they are very old, so you need to look on eBay.
That’s so amazing !! How did you even printed that on a transparent film ??
Scan the photo you want and make it negative, and print on a transparent film. :)
@@junyoungim5923 thanks ! What paper are you using for that ? 😊
@@hugoleroy8765 I am using watercolor paper, it’s thicker than regular paper, so after the wash it holds pretty well. :)
I’ve not had much success with this photo transfer method. I use an inkjet printer on acetate. What do you use?
I use the same thing, maybe your didn't mix the chemicals right ?
@@MathieuStern I’m sure I did. It reacts to the sun and turns blue but only parts of the images come thru.
What printer do you use to print the negative?
Any printer will work
Inkjet is what I used
Hello! I want to ask what material is that transparent paper??
its plastic, you can buy this kind of paper at the office store
Mathieu Stern Thankyou☺️ love your work!
was that 8 hours 30 min?
Was that 8 and a half hours in the sun?
If it’s really wet is it bad :(
was an inkjet printer used or a laser printer
basic inkjet printer
Hey Mathieu, maybe you will read this question: does the printer have to be a inkjet printer or can I use a laser printer, too? :-)
90% of the transparent paper is for inkjet printers, so if you can find a specific paper for laser, give it a try.
@@MathieuStern apparently it's kinda hard to find. But thank you very much for your response!
What printer do you use for your negatives? @@MathieuStern
What if there's no sunlight?
UV lamp, it's in the video :)
@@MathieuStern oh I might have missed it, btw thankyou :)
Put it in my water/vinegar bath and all the ink ran off immediately 😌
you should have gloves on:)
