First photogram with some retired keys, batteries, coins, a safety pin and a sweet in its wrapper. These keys don't correspond to any in service locks!
Ilford Multigrade IV
the original, or "postivie" (or would it be "negative"? because it was the original? Maybe positive and negative don't apply to photograms, tell me what you think.) is still on display, so I can't scan it. I'll probably put it up when I get it back.
This untitled photogram by Emilio Amero was created in 1932. This particular photogram caught my eye because of its abstract qualities. I love the overlapping of the objects, and I even like the fact that it is unclear as to what the objects are. It adds mystery to the piece. Something really interesting about this photogram is that there are striations in the background instead of just solid black. There is so much going on in this photogram which really captures the visual eye.
[Photogram] Hair and paper trimmings, wet processed gradually with flicks of developer and then briefly fully dunked.
Photograms are a lot of fun to create. I should really get back into it sometime.
This is a single magazine page, the fashion photos on each side shining through. I used a little of That Stuff That Keeps The Rug From Slipping to give more texture to the edges. Read into it what you will: I see these figures as alter egos.
This one always reminds me of Halloween for whatever reason, so I felt it was appropriate to post on the first of October.
I prefer my black and white images from the darkroom - the old fashioned way - by hand in chemicals. I love making experimental prints and especially love the surprise I usually get when making a photogram.
