What are Photograms/RayographsPhotograms is a process making a photo which doesn't need a camera it basically done like cyanotypes only expect you use chemicals in photograms and you don't in cyanotypes but the steps to do it are nearly the same expect for a few more steps and 1 other difference between the 2 is Cyanotype is blue and Photograms are black.

The steps to making a Photogram/Rayographs.
Step 1: You get given a special sheet of paper.
Step 2: Place your selected objects on the sheet of paper be careful to get the objects on the paper not the table.
Step 3: Turn the light on in will be on for 10 seconds.
Step 4: Take the sheet off and put in the first chemical for a minute then the objects will turn white.
Step 5: Put the sheet of paper in the second chemical for about 30 seconds.
Step 6: Put the paper in the third chemical for 10 minutes then put it in cold water then hang it to dry.

This is my first Photogram that I did I think it went well because there are shades where it is completely white and some bits that are lighter because they wern't down as hard as the others my favourite bit of it the key and key ring in the top right corner because it show the key ring glowing white and the key itself is more grey because it is not down that much I also like the triangle ruler where you can see Helix written on it and you can fantly see the numbers on it if i had another chance to do this photo again with the same objects I would possibly put the harder objects down harder like the scissors and the tape.

This is my second Photogram that I did I also like this one but I prefer the first one because the first one came outer more clearer and with better quality.
I think the reason for this is maybe the second photogram was not exposed as long as the other one but some bits of it went well for example the film came out really well because you can sought of recognise the film quiet a bit.The tape possibly could of been down a bit more because it does not come out as clear as the last one but this one in my opinion is good. |
