Photograms

Who knew that you could actually make a photograph without using a camera. Photograms are just that. You place objects on light sensitive paper, then expose them to light (longer under the light, blacker the blacks). The objects cast shadows on the paper and leave their white counterparts. After about 5 hours of working in the dark room, I ended up making 6 of them.

Here's a list of the objects I used:
  1. sun glasses
  2. ipod cords
  3. headphones adapter
  4. headphones
  5. my iPhone
  6. rubber ducks
  7. flash drives
  8. scissors
  9. a woman's blouse
  10. plastic gun
  11. felt heart
  12. bag of m&ms
  13. root beer bottle
And here are the finished pieces:
