This is my first ever go at lumen printing, I think that it came out pretty well. I left it exposing for around 3 weeks the negative I placed over my photo paper came out very clearly. I think however I need a better sunlight

Once you have all the equipment place your paper with the material pressed on to it. Then place the glass on the paper making sure it is face up, also its very important to put it in a place where it is very light.  Once it is secure leave it to solarise for a least a day I would say. Its recommended to leave it for 4 to 5 hours. I think this amount of time would be appropriate on a very sunny day under direct sunlight. It also depends on the thickness of your material how much time you have to expose it for.

This method is very simple as there is no need for a dark room as you use solarisation.This means  the sunlight exposes the image it works best when using materials which light is able to travel through in. this produces a balckened out image except for your material.

Lumen prints were often used by botanists in the 1800 but it was Jerry Burchfield who named this process. He used this on his travels through the Amazon, where he would use plants and place it on photographic paper using the sunlight to expose it.
