NEW COLLECTION
Empreintes
du Monde
This new collection brings together fragments of our travels and those rare pauses when we can breathe, return to nature, and to the simple joy of being together. This year, our daughter’s presence naturally found its way into our images. Thanks to her, we welcomed the human figure into our cyanotypes, not as a subject but as a living breath. Her fourth birthday opened a door within us, an invitation to listen to the voice of our own inner child, the one who still believes in wonder and whispers its stories in blue.
As William Blake wrote: “To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower.”
Each cyanotype invites you to slow down, to wander, to let your senses open once again to the enchantment of the world. May you find, within these shades of blue, the echo of a child’s gaze.
what else we do?
Cyanotype Photography
We are Dora and Charles. Everything started when we found each other. We were meant to create together and through our passion, love & creativity we gave birth to Kyano. Exploring life together, traveling to magical places, and connecting with Mother Nature, are the elements that feed our souls.
Our creative journey started somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.
We flew high above clouds and majestic mountains.
We dove deep into cold waters, roaring rivers & blue oceans.
We knelt down to humbly observe the smallest of creatures.
We saw the land boiling and smoking but also covered by tons of ice.
We saw nature transform, bloom & grow.
We paused to breathe and connect with our planet Earth.
We take it all in and we capture the striking beauty that surrounds us through the cyanotype technique.
Cyanotype photography is similar to poetry for us. It conveys all the words we are unable to express. The deep Prussian blue opens the door to a parallel world and adds a mystical element to the subject. This monochromatic effect invites the eye to rest and wander to imaginary worlds. We invite you to escape reality and find peace and beauty through this powerful color.
