Contemporary fine art cyanotypes exploring the intersection of nature, chemistry, and light.
Cyanotype is the art of monochrome photography that uses the sun to develop a distinct, deep Prussian blue. Every piece is a unique dialogue between organic forms, UV light, and hand-coated emulsions—meaning no two prints are ever identical.

The Work
How a Cyanotype is Born
- Step 1: Coating the Canvas A light-sensitive solution is meticulously mixed and hand-brushed onto heavy, archival watercolor paper under low light.
- Step 2: The Exposure Form, texture, or negatives are arranged on the paper and exposed directly to the unpredictable energy of the sun.
- Step 3: The Water Bath The print is washed in water, triggering a chemical transformation where the exposed areas deepen into an enduring Prussian blue.
Why Stillpoint Studio
Every artwork is created with intention and restraint.
Rather than following trends, the work is guided by balance and presence, allowing each piece to sit naturally within calm, refined interiors. The result is art that doesn’t demand attention, but rewards time spent with it.
Ideal for those who value quality, thoughtfulness, and understated luxury.
Behind the Blue
Stillpoint Studio is the creative practice of artist Sara-Louise Dobson.
I create fine art cyanotypes that blend traditional 19th-century photographic processes with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. My work is inspired by the outdoor landscape, captured forever in iron and light.
