For this project, we were supposed to be simulating the look of and old daguerreotype photo and making a digital cyanotype. I downloaded some texture and brush links
from online for free and brought in some simple portrait photos into Photoshop. I simply for both photos
made them black and white. For the daguerrotype, I took a picture of my sister sitting in her bed which I think
looks pretty modern. I brought it into Photoshop and changed it to black and white then created a sepia look
to it. I used the brush tools to make it splotchy and have an older look to it and flattened the images. For the
cyanotype, I put a self timer on the camera to take a picture of me in front of an older building. I made a
background with the brush tools and brought my photograph into Photoshop. I made a black and white
preset and then placed my photo on top of the brush stroked background. I then upped the color blue on
my photo to make it look like a cyanotype and flattened the layers.
Daguerrotype: A photograph taken by an early photographic process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor.
