Daguerrotypes 

Before:

After:

 In this daguerreotype I used a photo I had taken of a leaf and followed the usual process of selecting different textures and images to use on top of my photo and changing the style of the layer in order to alter the relationship between the multiple images and I really liked the way it turned out with a negative color look on the leaf and the overlaying images.

After:

For this daguerrotype I went for a more sepia toned look and basically followed the same steps as the first image but with a lighter texture coverage and a stronger vignette.

After:

For this daguerrotype I used a picture of my cat and added around 3 different texture images and used different styles to change how they reacted with the image. I turned the image black and white and tinted it to a very sepia-toned color and added a border and really like the way it turned out. 

Cyanotypes

Before:

After:

This cyanotype I really like because of how the lighter colors and buildings in the background fade into the white and make it look more painted and how the different textures affect the image's tone.

After:

 

In this cyanotype I followed the same procedure of altering the contrast and using different brushes to change the shape and look of this picture. 

Gum Bichromates

Before: 

After:

In this photo I used the same process for the cyanotype and then proceeded to layer on other colors to create a painted artistic look that I really like. I like how the contrast in the photo brings out the color choice and the sparkling aspects in the photo. 

For this gum bichromate I used a slightly blurry photo to alter the aesthetic of how the photo turns out. I used different brushes to give more of a decaying/splattered look to the edges and really like how this turned out.

Before:

After:

In this photo I used contrasting effects to really bring out the glow of the lights and used the same process for the other gum bichromates with different colors to bring out a cooler tone in the image and show a bit of darkness all around the lights.
