Rebecca Bruyn defines herself as an alternative photographer who uses an antique method from the mid 1800’s called Cyanotype printing from images taken with a 35 mm camera and/or a cell phone camera. She creates unique one of a kind handmade photographs on watercolor paper by using sunlight to develop the image.
Though she has dedicated the last 18 years to cyanotypes, in 2013 she found herself immersed in the world of iPhoneography or Digital Art becoming an active contributor to the mobile photography art movement through a variety of Facebook pages dedicated to the mobile art community. She is now more than ever inspired to share this new creative outlet with others to demonstrate the enormous capacity of creativity that the iPhone can offer. Her recent digital art now feeds her passion with the cyanotype prints allowing her work to span 3 centuries of photography; using the early form of photography from mid 1800s to express her digital art of the early 21st century.
