9/19/09 Kraig Van Winkle "Micheal McCarthy"
So today I looked up photography artists who have used the cyanotype technique. Micheal McCarthy seemed to have the largest gallery of cyanotype prints. Most of this technique in his works deal with portraiture. He explores different means to portray a portrait of the human form with many close ups, blurred imagery and full body poses on cyanotype prints. His most recent work with the cyanotype technique can be seen here. The large scale portraiture show movement and energy with in the forms. Interesting back story to his insperation behind these large scale cyanotype portraitures. Hope you all enjoy his work and good luck with redoing the cyanotype prints
