Photogram workshop with Patrick Winfield @ the Impossible Project NYCspace

Impossible project PX70 colour shade 12/11
These are some photograms I made while working on a photography communications project. None of these will probably make it to my final project, but I do think they're pretty cool lookin'.
I won't spoil it for you by telling you the objects I used in each, but I'm sure you can figure it out for most of them. ;o)
One of the two photograms that I like from class today. It's cloth and fancy ribbons with a 3 second exposure.
its exactly what you see. its a 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 method of imaging is perhaps most prominently attributed to Man Ray and his exploration of rayographs. Others who have experimented with the technique include László Moholy-Nagy, Christian Schad (who called them "Schadographs"), Imogen Cunningham and even Pablo Picasso.

moved the branch on the top half way through the exposure to half bleach it, looks kinda different as not all of it is bleached out, dont usually get grey tones in photograms. still hate them.
Glass daguerreotype
Becquerel developed.
DagerrotÃpiáim, avagy kortárs dagerrotÃpiák. Contemporary daguerreotype
Lumen Print 718 Morning Glory. Kodak Ektacolor Portra III 8x10 color paper for color negatives. C type print medium. This is the lumen after exposure of three hours of mid day sun light and before it was run through chemistry.
Lumen Print 811 English Oak Leaf. Kodak Studio Proof 5x7 fiber base paper before fixing with sodium thiosulfate.
cyanotype/photogram from old fishing lure.
I am teaching cyanotype and other alt processes if any body in Austin is interested.
I attended a workshop on salt printing - the first positive-negative printing process invented by Henry Fox Talbot around 1833. The process involves coating your paper with a salt solution (Salt [NaCl], Gelatin, Citric Acid and Potasium Dichromate in this case) and waiting for it to dry. Then you sensitise the paper with silver nitrate.
Exposure is done using a bi-fold split contact print frame, with the whole lot placed in the sun. As the process is a print-out (rather than a develop-out) process you see the image forming before your eyes - stop exposing to UV when the image is looking very cooked. No "Developing" required (washing and fixing only).
No camera here - just some grass hastily ripped from the garden and placed on the paper.
Spaghetti, hemp, coffee beans, some glass rectangle thingie, Chris' keys. Color photography is so confusing but I love it!
15 minute exposure on 11x14 cyanotype-coated watercolor paper, outlined in charcoal pencil.
I was experimenting with changing the pH of the water I developed the prints in, and this one I bleached in an ammonia-water solution, roughly 1:4 parts; then redeveloped in a 5% acetic acid solution.
I have been spending some time looking at old work recently. This is from my 2010 college workbook. (digital scan)

This was my first project to do photograms in my film class. sorry about the carpet in the pics.. developed pictures are coming soon! I am so excited about this class!
Photogram self-portrait, done by lying under the enlarger, developing it and piecing together the photopaper.
This is my very first photogram! I made this yesterday. I didn't even know what a photogram was until recently. For those of you who don't know you use a piece of photo paper in a dark room and you can put whatever you want on the paper. I chose to cut squares out of some old film that had that had been ruined by sunlight and then places shapes in the squares that represented myself. You then expose the paper to light. (I did for 15 seconds.) Then you go through the process of developing the photo. (Developer, stop bath, fixer, wash bath.) And voila! You have a photogram. :)
I wanted the shapes to be lighter but unfortunately the paper I used for the shapes was not thick enough and the light was able to shine through them. The shapes include: an eiffel tower, a music note, an ice cream cone, a heart, and a camera. There was supposed to be a clarinet but I forgot to put it on there evidently. I got an A+ on this though! :D
