For AlternativePhotography's 25th anniversary, we present this book! Step into a world where light, chemistry, and creativity collide. 137 artists push the boundaries of alternative photography, with processes like cyanotype, gum, and platinum printing to create unique, handcrafted images. They showcase their work, insights, and inspiration.
Natalia Tcherniak. Headlands
​Cyanotype is a process that has the ability to combine gesture, precision, science, and serendipity: a combination of photography, painting, collage, and printmaking. What I find the most appealing about cyanotypes is the opportunity they create for infinite possibilities of infinite combination. Two of my biggest inspirations in life are architecture and the human mind. “Headlands” was a series for me to explore and combine the two, to see how a mental landscape can be expressed architecturally. It is about exploring inner demons, ghosts of the past, and phantoms of the future that occupy a mind subjected to depression and anxiety.
Katern Magazine - Perron, vol 4 (forthcoming)2025


Katern (maga)zine is a process. Not a product. Each issue emerges from a temporary collaboration of all kinds of artists and writers reflecting on a place.
Last Day.
Life: there is a whole city. Countryside, whole world to explore! Go! You`ve got time!
Me: No. I have to wait for my train! I don`t know when it’s gonna come, but I can’t miss it. This is one mission I had. I can’t leave all my stuff because it’s not mine, I was given it, I am responsible for it. I can’t get rid of it. It’s one thing that is certain – the train will come and I have to be on it. I’m just gonna sit here till we run out of time. I’m ready to go. I’ve always been ready to go. I’m just gonna sit this one out.
