PAR is all about the analogue: our workplace in the Netherlands is totally dedicated to cameraless photography. Our photographic techniques go back as far as 1842. We combine this with high end and responsible materials for present day products.
This results in wonderous designs for notebooks, greeting cards and of course: DIY kits to discover everything at home.
We've captured the sun for you, and you can do it too!
Our techniques are also wondrous and simple for you to do at home. We have several DIY kits to make your own cyanotypes (blueprints) on paper and fabric.
Our DIY kits contain everything you need to make blueprints just like in 1842! You only need to add water and some sunshine. You can make blueprints of natural objects, material objects, photos and text. And you don't need any experience or special equipment.
How it works: treat your paper or fabric to make it sensitive to UV-light.
Expose it to direct sunlight with a beautiful subject. Rinse and dry, that's it!
And once you're hooked, we have all kinds of refills and materials to keep on going.
All our products have instructions in French, German, English and Dutch.
We make beautiful handmade cyanotypes (blueprints) of natural subjects using the sun. Transforming watercolour paper into photographic paper sensitive to UV-light, we uncover all kinds of details you would normally not see.
Our greeting cards and notebooks are printed on FSC matte paper, embellished with all over gold foil design. Both design and printing is done in the Netherlands.
