Cyanotype: The Blueprint in Contemporary Practice (Contemporary Practices in Alternative Process Photography)

Per chi ama questa tecnica di stampa questo libro non può mancare!

Lovely mix of artistic and technical information

Rather pricy and cheaply printed but fabulous content

Excellent book for background information and practical ideas.

Massively overpriced.Lots of lists - of paper types, of alternative cyanotype mixes of artists - but overall very poorly explained. The material is perhaps obvious to the expert but the expert will not want these guidelines anyway. The material on preparing test strips I read repeatedly but still don't get how to do it. Likewise the notes on using Photoshop not clearly explained. Many other sections the same. Not suitable for a novice at all.I get annoyed at this. Why cannot authors proof their works with novices and check that information is clear? What is the value of reviewing 180 different types of paper when the basics of cyanotyping are not clearly explained? It just is so important to write clearly.I get a feeling that this was someones research project, on types of paper for cyanotype, turned into a bookMuch more informative and clearly-explained discussions online.A very poor book if it has the intention to teach others.
