I Made a Photograph With Turmeric & Sunlight — Here’s How! ☀️

What if I told you that you could make a photograph without a camera or a printer? All you need is turmeric, paper, sunlight — and a little patience. In the very first episode of Nobody Told Me How, I’ll show you step-by-step how to create a turmeric anthotype, an old photographic process that uses natural plant pigment and sunlight to create an image. You’ll learn how to prepare the turmeric dye, coat the paper, expose your design in sunlight, treat the finished print, and understand the simple science behind why it works. ☀️ The secret is curcumin, the natural pigment in turmeric. Sunlight causes the exposed pigment to lose color while areas protected by your leaf or flower remain different, creating the image. Try it with different leaves, flowers and shapes — every print can turn out differently. Nobody told me how to make a photograph with turmeric and sunlight.
