Only blue pictures?
Why are all the pictures blue? That’s probably what you’ll wonder after seeing the collection of pictures on display.
That's where the magic lies. Cyanotypes ARE blue—by the very nature of the technique.
Cyanotype—a photographic process dating from 1842, also known as a blueprint.
Cyanotype is a discipline that requires both patience and precision. A sheet of paper is coated with a UV-sensitive liquid. Selected objects from nature—seaweed collected along the North Sea coast, pressed flowers, or feathers found during a walk in the woods—are placed on this prepared paper. These objects, chosen as motifs, are held in place by a glass plate while they are exposed to UV light, often under the sun’s direct rays, which serve as a natural darkroom.
After exposure, the paper is placed in a water bath, and a new process begins in the water—namely, development. The magic lies in the water’s interaction with the cyanotype chemicals on the paper, and the image turns blue.
Tine Hvolby is the creative force and photographer behind the exhibition at the Brørup Health Center.

“It’s all about balance, and I don’t want to limit myself to just one type of photography. For me, it’s about the balance between opposites in my photographic work, and I find inspiration and peace in nature.”
