Alternative Photography. Portsmouth High School.
Displayed in SPLASH! 2013 at the Portsmouth Public Library in March 2013.
I did this while at Art college in Watford in the sixties. The Photographic department was at the Printing college on Hempstead Road, Watford being a big print town at that time. This was my take on a photogram exercise set by Raymond Moore, photographer and tutor. Made using an enlarger with a simple mask and fluids (very 60's :-) and an improvised turn table made from an Ilford bromide box and drawing pin. Mark Boyle who did lightshows for 'The Soft Machine' and 'Jimi Hendrix' was also a tutor at Watford at that time.
Photogram
I'm holding that glass globe (center of head) in my hand, but it didn't show up in the scan. Oh well.
This is my newest photographic experiment: a photogram.
It's a photographic image made without a camera or film. A photogram is usually made by placing various real life objects directly onto photographic paper and exposing it to light.
Part of my first photography project on Photograms. It's the simplest style of photography - you don't even need a camera!
My second photogram. I placed some of the objects on the paper randomly. Then I put the light on for 4 seconds. And put more objects on and took some off. I repeated this twice. So that's why some things are lighter or darker than others.
