These anthotypes aims to illustrate the capabilities of natural materials to create a composition rather than the newest digital technology. The possibilities of colors and textures are endless through a simple change in the vegetable or plant used to create the dye and the amount of sun the paper is exposed to. Each image is created using fruit and vegetables such as beets, blueberries, and purple cabbage as dye on light sensitive paper with flowers placed on top when exposed to sunlight.

The coated paper is positioned underneath a positive piece of film or an object and is left to expose in the sun. The sun causes the emulsion to fade in areas that…
