Newsletter | Blind's week: Herbaria, cameraless photography, Marie Clerel

See, read and understand the language of photographersThis week, Blind tells you everything about Cameraless Photography! Its story, who made it famous and its grandchildren...

Just as cultural institutions are reopening their doors, Blind explores museum collections and takes a closer look at some historical photographs. Today, we focus on a cyanotype by the British photographer Anna Atkins which is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

A short history of cameraless photography

In the history of photography, cameraless photography has always been relegated to the background. Too personal, too experimental, too strange, too iconoclastic. And yet, it is actually much older than camera photography!

Marie Clerel: Etching the sky

The artist has invented a method of capturing variations in sunlight and moonlight. Her sensory work uses the photographic medium in its most primitive form in order to reveal luminous traces. Marie Clerel’s work is currently on view at Galerie Binome in Paris.

OPEN CALL FOR PORTFOLIOS

Blind's goal is to support photographic creation and invites all photographers to submit their portfolios.
