Cyanotype Athlete Prints

Alternative Processes Final

With this body of work, I wanted to display portraits of athletes in a graphic-like context. The printing process played a significant role on these images, where the methods were used to not only enhance, but to alter and transform this medium. I am aiming to use a variety of painterly brush strokes as a design aspect of these portraits to foreshadow high energy and action. I wanted to attack the aesthetic of commercial images but transitioning these images into paintings through the cyanotype printing processes in order to transform these images.
