A photogram is a photographic image made (without a camera) by placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material such as photo paper and then exposing it to light. The result is a silhouetted image varying in darkness depending on the transparency of the found objects,with areas of the paper that have not received any light appearing light and those that are appearing dark, according to the laws governing photosensitivity. The image that is attained is a negative and the resulting image is quit similar to an X-RAY. This method of art image making is attributed to Man Ray and his experiments with "rayographs". Others who have experimented with this technique are Lazlo Moholy-Nagy,Christian Chad,Imogen Cunningham and Mr. Pablo Picasso.
Personally I feel photograms are printmaking with white light. Below are examples of using the tanned fish hides and found objects to create prints with light. Each was hand developed black and white photogram prints on Ilford paper with objects I have collected over the years from my artistic travels. To have a Cabinet of Curiosities within my art studio is truly inspiring.
Below you will find a few examples from an exstensive body of photograms, many were sold to patrons of the arts before they could be documented.
