Photograms/Rayographs
What are Photograms/Rayographs?
A Photograph is made without a camera and you place objects on photographic paper and expose it to light so that the chemicals capture the image. Like the Cyanotypes the Photograms only emit two colours except Photograms are black and white and need a darkroom. How do you make a Photogram/Rayograph? You place a couple of objects on a light sensitive photographic paper. You then expose the paper to light for a few seconds. After that you put the paper in a series of different chemicals called developer, fixer and stop bath in a darkroom. |

In class we experimented in the darkroom and made two photograms of our own. These are mine.

I like this image because it has a lot of little detail This image is my favourite because I put more objects in this time
and one object is focused and one object isn't and all the shapes came out really well.
but I think I could've added more objects in the space.
