Photograms/Rayographs.
What is a Photogram or a Rayograph?
A photogram or a Rayograph is a photo taken without a camera.
They are made by placing objects on a photo sensitive surface and exposing them to light. When the object is on the surface it's blocking the light and will leave a pale whit or grey colour where the light hasn't reached the surface. If the light can reach underneath the object then it will turn a darker tone. Also if the paper isn't protected at all then the paper will turn black. |

My Rayograph.
In The Process of making my Rayograph we had to use 3 different chemicals:
EvaluationI am quite pleased with the picture I made. You can see where the strip of negatives has been exposed on the paper, a pair of scissors, some tape and other objects. I like the way some objects are lighter than others. It gives the picture some depth. It's not always easy to tell how the picture will turn out.
