COLOR PHOTOGRAM

A photogram is a photographic image made (without a camera) by placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The result is a silhouetted image varying in darkness based on the transparency of the objects used, with areas of the paper that have not received any light appearing light and those that have appearing dark, according to the laws of photosensitivity. The image obtained is hence a negative and the effect is often quite similar to an X-Ray.

This is the original picture of how I developed it, overdeveloped it, or underdeveloped it in Photography class. This has not been enhanced or photoshopped in any way.
