Cyanotype Photo

Cyanotype turns your camera into a small cyanotype darkroom, the photochemical process John Herschel discovered in 1842 and Anna Atkins later used to create the first photographically illustrated book in history.

Point, shoot, and watch the scene develop instantly in the same Prussian blue born from iron salts under ultraviolet light. The filter runs live in the viewfinder and is applied with the exact same processing to the saved photo: what you see is what you get.
