Photograms





I created these photograms by placing my chosen objects on to sun-print paper and exposing them to natural sunlight for approximately 2 minuets. After placing them in direct sunlight i placed the sun-print paper in to warm water and the result of this is the effect on the photos, my chosen objects had left a print of the shape on the paper giving a x-ray effect. The paper that didn't have objects on it turned dark whilst the places where the objects were put turned light. The areas where the objects created shadows gave an interesting mid tone appearance. 

Man Ray also discovered a similar technique in 1921, he named this technique 'rayographs' after himself.
