The Darkroom
Meet Emily, who runs a small black-and-white darkroom in Herne Bay, Kent — the same county once home to cyanotype pioneer Anna Atkins. Passionate about analogue photography, Emily teaches workshops and courses and has created a range of cyanotype kits to help you get started. Choose from pre-coated papers ready to use, or dive right in with a full kit. Whichever you pick, you’ll have everything you need to begin — and a solid grounding to carry on with your new cyanotype hobby
