Photogram aka shadowgraph aka cameraless photography
Photograms are one of the very first types of photographic image. Some famous photographers have used this technique such as William Henry Fox Talbot and Man Ray.
I enjoyed doing this by these steps.
Get an enlarger.
Get a piece of photo paper.
Arrange a few objects ON the paper.
Do a test strip.
Develop the strip
Adjust the time.
Stick another piece of paper in - give it a blast of light - print.
The tones come from the transparency of the object - the more dense they are the whiter the object appears.
