How to create Photo Prints using only Beetroot Juice - Anthotype
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2020
- An anthotype is an image created using photosensitive material from plants. This process was originally invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842. An emulsion is made from crushed flower petals or any other light-sensitive plant, fruit or vegetable. A coated sheet of paper is then dried. Place some material, for example leaves or a transparent photo positive on the paper and expose to direct full sunlight until the image part not covered by the material is bleached out by the sun rays. The color remains in the shadowed parts. The paper remains sensitive against such rays.

The Lonely Mountain | How to Make a Cyanotype Photo Print Epidemic sound : share.epidemicsound.com/rFnt2 - Наука та технологія
This wasn’t discovered by Herschel- it was discovered by Mary Somerville who described the process to him in a letter which he published in 1845.
Very beautiful anthotype, but just want to make sure women inventors, artists, and scientists get the credit they deserve!
I'm having a lot of success using turmeric and alcohol by-products from the distillation of Barr Hill Gin. My contact prints of leaves have a terrific gold and ocher look. Exposure time: two days. Side note: the process was invented by Mary Somerville. She showed it to Herschel and somehow he keeps getting credit as its inventor. I think she should sue him, but she's been dead since 1872. And so it goes. ;)
I tru using turmeric and 97% ethanol to do anthotyping but it seems to take lile for ever to make a image. I tought q artificial UV source would work but it is just more effective to let it in the sun. As i am typing i am still waiting for my turmeric type to develop
after Mathieu showed us cyanotypes, I got *really* into cyanography. I thought I was going to beat Mathieu to trying anthotypes, but here I am sitting with my beets waiting for a sunny day...
Beet it! I beat you to the punch in making a beet pun.
Seven sunny days...
Dwight Schrute approves!
You should have taken a photo of a beet to print with beetroot juice
😂
hehee
Now this is why I love your channel ❤
According to wikipedia: This process was originally invented by Mary Somerville who presented her research to Sir John Herschel (who is often misquoted as the inventor) in 1842.
This is beautiful!
C'était déjà génial mais le bonus pain à la betterave m'a convaincu ahah ! Bravo pour le travail en tout cas, c'est toujours un plaisir de regarder ces vidéos aussi inspirantes !
You inspired me a lot! Thanks very much!
what a great result and I really enjoyed watching your video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Yup, totally going to do this with some of my 6x6 and 6x7 negatives
I love beets! Didn't know they make interesting images as well
Greetings from South Africa.Very interesting. I always share your videos with my photographer friend. My favourite is still the one of the 120 year old negatives you found and developed of the little girls cat, kitten and dog 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
I know what you mean about that picture, it really touched my heart too (mad me cry actually, haha), and the story behind it was quite amazing. Such a beautiful moment captured, carefully treasured but possibly never printed, then hidden away/forgotten/lost, only to never be witnessed again until over a century later. The colourisation was lovely too, I'm normally not a fan of that, but that image was really well done.
Forget Bitcoin, I'm investing in beets!

ShrekHas Covid19 yesss!!
Love your ideas, Brother!!
I appreciate that!
I love the background music of your videos.
Thank you!
Greeting from Hong Kong on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Thank Mathieu to upload this amazing video. I have been seeking ways to work on cyanography without using commercial chemicals. Good to know that beet or turmeric are substitutes. Though the image produced will fade out eventually, I think that's the beauty.
My pleasure!
7 days? This begs to be used for very long exposure pinhole photography! That's right up your alley!
Indeed!
good idea !
Very cool!!! How would fix the image because over time it will eventually fad away... But actually that makes special
Very cool! You can also get a UV grow light if you want more stable conditions. I've done some UV processes before like carbon printing.
My question would be if you would get a higher quality print with more pressure between the positive and emulsion?
Good idea!
HI is it possible to expose anthrotypes in a UV light box?
Matthieu, that was amazing, how many other plants, vegetables etc. can be used?
Good Question! I'm currently onto that, and plan to update this comment as I find out! You can also use Chlorophyll, from the juice of crushed Spinach, and many other chemicals. Amongst which different chemicals take different amount of times to bleach. Chlorophyll for example, takes just 2 hours!
Super taf. C'est rigolo de voir cette photo, le Montenvers et les Dru, avant l'effondrement du pilier bonatti. Une photo d'histoire. Et de la maison^^
Hi, thanks for the video! I was wondering where you got the little picture frame holder that you used for development? Thanks!
What kind of paper did you use and how long does it take to fade??
Now, what needs to be done is to find a fixing agent for the pictures. So, they don't keep developing in sunlight, or any other type of light.
do you not need to fix the image? would it not degrade in time even in the shade?
hi, i was thinking if you can make those prints using homemade recycled paper? thank you for this video tho!
the analog wave got you ;)
the cheap analog wave for now :)
Mathieu Stern it‘s all about the fun :)
Hello! Thank you so much for this video. Is it necessary to have the box you’ve made to hold the 4x5 film? Can you buy one if you don’t have access to a wood working room or can you bull dog clip the film and the printing material behind any transparent front and opaque back?
💜
You can use an old picture frame or glass and clips on a substrate. Anything that keeps the negative in contact with the paper. The advantage of the frame he has is that it will allow you to open one side and check on the developing process.
Is the paper only coated in beetroot juice or another photo sensitive emulsion? It seems so simple!
Wonderful. Thanks. Question: did you literally let this sit outside day and night for 7 days, or did you take it in each night and then bring it back out into the sun each morning until sundown?
The effect only works with sunlight, so everyday i take it inside at night to protect it from rain.
Thank you for clarifying.
Someone needs to do the math and find out what iso this “film” is
😁🤣👍
Does this work with any other médium apart from the positive?
Nice video!
I have a question:
How do you set the picture, so it’s not photo-reactive after?
Wouldn’t want to wait 7 days for my print to eventually fade to nothing
Thank you, have a great day!
store it in a dark place or avoid putting it to direct sunlight after that.
there is no real solution to keep the print perfect for years.
@@MathieuStern thank you really much for reply!
@@MathieuStern You can scan it digitally though, to preserve it as a digital image. :)
Does the image eventually fade?
I wonder where the photo was taken... Maybe you could reshoot it once restrictions have been lifted...
could you potentially fix the print so it last longer?
Can it be used for normal photography? like pin hole camera placed in one place for 2 weeks
Nice video! I have a video in my channel using beetroot but using an A4 interposite!
Hi, cool video! Where can I find a frame like this??
its a very old one, you can find some like that on Ebay " Printing frame"
Would I be able to mix the beetroot in black paint for black colour results
If the paper remains sensitive, doesn't that mean it will fade over time if displayed? If so, is there any way to fix it?
Regrettably, there is no way to fix the image. It could be kept from light, but it's a process that is certainly ephemeral, not archival.
Great video, do you think it will work on fabric?
Yes it will, but it will fade after the first wash
So for 7 days straight we have to keep the photo frame exactly at that place only? I mean under the sun? Not take it back inside ?
I know how to create a negative transparent on photoshop but how do you create a transparent positive??
How do you make the positive? i would love to do this with my own photos
You can go to an office supply store and buy transparency sheets, then print them with your photos! Voila! Positives!
Cool! Would that have been a way to produce first photos in the Middle Ages?
I mean - everything was available back then... 💡
Yes, exactly
but because the prints fade away pretty fast, we will never know if someone had the idea before 1842
@@MathieuStern What about heat treatment? I understand that organic substances can fade out fast but wouldn't heat change the structure of these materials?
That is really the material for a history fiction movie 😉
Negatives. There weren't a lot of negatives back then - or the idea of how a negative image could be used in any way. I've also read that the "lifespan" of an anthotype is a matter of what plant you use for your emulsion. Some flowers produce longer lasting images. The main reason there is no way to permanently fix an anthotype image is easy to explain: there haven't been a lot of attempts to find a way to do it!
For now, I'll stick with creating cyanotypes! 😁
@@TheStockwell And cyanotypes how long you think they can last?
@@antoniofirenzeHow long? About 180 years, at least. The process was invented in 1842, a few years after the announcement of the photographic process. Anna Atkins published a book of cyanotypes in 1843. They still look fine.
О! это -мегакруто!
2:29 une petite faute s'est glissée: "Leave unde*r* the sun" ;)
Intriguing. Now let's talk about reciprocity factor for use in a pinhole camera :-D
...just kidding
Greetings from Germany
Friend I have a Kodak Brownie camera and would like to make a photo without using a film , here Mexico it doesn't exist anymore where I live and I would like to make a photo with this Cyanotype method I would thank you so much , I am new on this and I have this little dream to make a photo with this method
☺️
👍
Next video ..... How to develop photos using wine!!!
I think it will work with fresh apple juice
Can you use watercolor paper when it comes to make antotype?
Yes, you need a paper that can drink a lot of liquid
What’s the song?
Hopefully somebody knows the answer! I only have access to a digital camera. If I printed an image onto a transparent material (tracing paper or acetate sheets) and followed the same steps would I get a similar result?
Thank you! Advice welcomed :)
Yes !
Great tip. But that’s seven days slower than our slowest printer 😂
So true! This is not a technic for impatient people :))
Mais cet anthotype... faut pas le révéler / le fixer ?
Beet... beat by Sun.
If you exposed a photo positive how come you didn't get a negative image?
Because the sunlight passing through the clearer areas of the positive transparency bleach the underlying dye, leaving dye under the areas less affected and hence a positive copy of the original.
Does something like fixer exist?
And what would happen when you put hydrogen peroxide? :)
on this one HP will destroy totally the print.
It does! Though a perfect fixer could be a challenge. I have tried to apply UV Sunscreen with some degree of success! It will definitely slow down the bleaching though the stronger the cream (in my opinion) the stronger the taint on the paper! What I need is a sunglass screen that is thin and transparent! God knows how much money we can make if we invent that!
Bears,
Beets,
