Photograms

A photogram is a photograph that is made without the use of a camera You make a photogram by placing objects directly onto a light sensitive material and exposing it all to light… The result is a negative shadow image that will vary in tone depending on the opacity of the object placed on top.

Henry Fox Talbot, ‘Photogenic drawings’

Anna Atkins was the first woman photographer. ,[object Object]

Atkins became interested in making accurate drawings of plant life, and used photography and the cyanotype process as her tools.,[object Object]

Laszlo Maholy Nagy, Austria 1919

Both Moholy-Nagy and Man Ray brought photograms from the scientific to the realm of art. ,[object Object]

They used an artificial light source and sometimes moved the light and the objects around during exposure .,[object Object]

When creating a photogram, the objects you choose and the way that they react to light, will determine the look of your image. It’s all about translucency… how much light can pass through the object to the paper?
