Fuji Instax Wide photogram of a 120 rollfilm negative. When taking out a cassette of Fuji Instax film in complete darkness and place objects on the film, then expose (I used a strobe fired against the ceiling), put back the cassette in the camera (I used my Lomo Instant Wide, should also work with Fuji 210), finally press the camera's shutter with completely covered lens, the photogram will be developed. I used a 120 rollfilm negative, the blue tint originates from the negative's organge mask - I have to repeat that once my first b/w 120 rollfilm negatives are back :)
Wet Cyanotype photogram done on inkjet glossy photo paper.
Epson Glossy Photo paper 4x6 inches, Jacquard Cyanotype kit, Lightstarter 60 watt 100 LED UV flood light.
This is an expired paper photogram. What I have done is to place objects, in this case leaves (I also dribbled water on the paper), onto photographic paper and place this in the sun for a couple of hours.
The paper is not fixed because that removes the color, so the image is scanned. I then played with levels and curves to bring out the colors that exist within the paper.
using the same leaf as I used recently for lumen prints, this time I used it as a photogram, then inverted.
photogram
(A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light.)
Sort of a photogram hybrid. I wanted to improve the sense of space with my photograms. I printed a photo of clouds onto the paper and then made a contact print of a photogram on top of it.
All things have a use, even photographic paper that was long ago expired and is fogged beyond use.
I have used many sheets of such paper to create photograms by placing objects on the paper and letting it sit in the sun for a few hours. The result is then scanned and manipulated with levels and curves in Photoshop. At times the results disappoint, but other times things work out well. In this particular image I moistened part of the paper before exposure.

I have been doing a little more work with expired paper photograms. For these images I use fogged photographic paper that has been given to me, place items on the paper (in this case, some leaves), and leave in the sun for a couple of hours. I then scan the paper and play around with Levels and Curves to get what I feel to be a pleasing representative color.
black & white photogram - part of a series i did a couple of years ago.
has become a signature piece for me... and great fun to make :)
remember the darkroom? and the smell of chemicals?
Mussaenda flower planted by my father more than 2 decades ago in Los Banos, Laguna , Philippines. In loving memory of my father.
11x14" Kodak Polycontrast III RC paper
Masses of large peachy pink bracts subtend the clusters of yellow star-shaped upward facing tubular blooms from spring to fall on this beautiful tropical shrub. The flower-like clusters can be 12" or more across and last for weeks. This rare and unusual tropical typically grows as a small shrub and is excellent in containers. Mussaenda's are considered by many to be a good Poinsettia replacement with a much longer flowering time and better pest and disease resistance.
This is one of the many beautiful cultivars developed by Phillipine horticulture and were and are so prized that they were named after the Phillipine first ladies or the 'Dona's. This beautiful cultivar is considered to be a selected hybrid of M. erythrophylla x M. phillipica. Source: almostedenplants.com/shopping/products/9562-dona-luz-pink...

UV-Flashlight Lumen photogram, in some variations using Agfa Multigrade 10x15 cm pieces of paper
Exposure very short about 1 minute by tracing the object
The red color is because I wetted the paper and washed with handsoap exposed wet.
Reasoning is that there may be some developer in the paper present already when alkaline and wet it should darken the paper while exposing, and that is the case it is getting to a chocolate brown very quick ie needs very little exposure.
