Anna Atkins
Anna Atkins was an english lady from the 1800's who invented the cyanotype. She was taught by a man called William Talbot who invented the photographic drawing and calotypes. Anna or Talbots wife Constance Talbot are thought to be the first female photographer but neither of their actual photographs survived so no one will ever know.
This is my first cyanotype that i
made. it is made up of a tape two clips and a cup with holes in it. i think i could of improved it by making the clips more straight and maybe keeping it in the light for longer.

This was my second cyanotype and all I did was pull leaves off trees and got my key out of my pocket and put it on the paper. I think I could of improved it by putting weights on the leaves because they aren't contrast was not strong enough for my liking as I like to have lots of contrast and these images look weak.
