Some of you must know already that before being a photographer i was a biologist (i still am). I started to look true some alternative photography processes, and realized that lots of then where created by biologists. Like the Cyanotipe, first used by Anna Atkins, a British Botanisist, to ilustrate her books about British Algae ( the picture above is part of her book British Algae: Cyanotipe Impressions first published at 1843).
Was also great to discover people still using these processes to explore the biota:
Take a look at Sthefani Valentin's work. She photographs insects using colour photograms.
And James Hajeck & Carol Panaro-Smith produce photograms from plants and algae.
Hope you like it...i had a big flashback!!
