Photograms

A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The result is a negative shadow image varying in tone, depending on the transparency of the objects used. Areas of the paper that have received no light appear white; those exposed through transparent or semi-transparent objects appear grey.[1]

This method of imaging is perhaps most prominently attributed to Man Ray and his exploration of rayographs. Others who have experimented with the technique include László Moholy-Nagy, Christian Schad (who called them "Schadographs"), Imogen Cunningham and even Pablo Picasso.

"EVERYBODY TO THE STAGE!"

This is my final project for photography. It's a series taken during the Montgomery College World Ensemble rehearsals and sound check. I have more prints that were not included in the selection for the final. I will post them later.

random photos

I needed some fun while waiting in the dark room, so I developed these.
