UV-exposed direct on top of the paper , 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.
I had a piece of photo paper left from something else I was doing, so just left it on the windowsill with some objects to see what happened. Took a fair few hours as it was a bit cloudy..
Another from this weekends project. This one is as easy as they come, I cut a thin slice of orange and put it on the page. I know what your saying, "that's not an orange, it's a red". Well since I am using B&W photo paper and there is no camera, realistic portrayal of said orange wasn't the important thing to me. I was more interested in how the acidic juices would react with the paper. This is by far one of the sharpest and richly detailed photograms I've made. In post I just boosted the original colors and made the dull grey-ish background white to give it that nice clean look. The next time I use a piece of fruit or veg I might make a traced stencil of the slice I'm using so that the page surrounding the subject stays white. Only thought of that trick after making this one.

no time for more color but thought I will check my LED setup for x-ray film exposure. Seems in my setup on low setting and led on the ceiling it is about 5 seconds to the some details, perhaps a bit shorter but still developing very cold 10 C. Had to bleach and fix to correct a bit since when it looks good under red-light x-ray film has 2 sides so it ended up bit dark. Lots of scratches also even when I was using only gloves to touch. I tried in computer to make a positive but think it looks better in negative. post edit on the computer and added some color.

I found some old photograms while going through my things. I liked these when I made them but I never felt like I pushed photograms as far as I could. I still think photograms in general haven't been explored to their full potential as a medium and I often think about making larger, more grand looking landscapes using techniques I learned while creating these.

Dried Lily Leaf: made with light, paper, glass, leaf in darkroom - no negative, no enlargement. (leaf size exceeds my 8x10 paper but that didn't stop me....)
Glass daguerreotype
Becquerel developed.
DagerrotÃpiáim, avagy kortárs dagerrotÃpiák. Contemporary daguerreotype
This was developed in Caffenol C developer (instant coffe, washing soda, vitamin C). My first attempt in DIY photo chemistry.
I developed the lumen photograms in dilute developer, or fixed direc, or first bleached before processing, then developing in dilute paper developer and then fixing. They now should be real to light. When first bleaching it goes more to gray black, when first developing it keeps the brown color from the exposure.
After exposure, first bleached in C41 bleach then redeveloped in dilute paper developer in light by inspection pulled washed and fixed. This gives a more grey final image.
A photogram made by placing several slices of lemon directly onto colour photographic paper, thus creating an image of their transparency. The other white "shadows" are of tomato vine stems, and the background texture is created by enlarging the grain of handmade paper which was placed in the negative carrier. The lemons and tomato stems were placed on a piece of cellophane and some of the creases are visible, as well as some gathered drops of the lemon juice. The varied thicknesses of the lemon slices are what determine both its transparency/translucency and the clarity of the detail - compare the two touching slices nearest to the centre of the image. Deliberate slight cyan cast. No digital manipulation.

A photograph of a photograph of photograms. During a visit to the Walker Art Center, they had a little hands-on workshop to create photograms, the camera-less way to capture images and the descendant of photography. Mary made spirals while I made what we'll say are two abstract trees in the rain.
My 52 week project for 2017: a photo each week with the Leica Sofort and a photo of the resulting print at the scene of the shooting.
One of the first photographs created was a photogram. I love re-visiting the historical and simple process from time to time. The simplicity I find refreshing and the chemical processing in the darkroom is almost a meditative state for me.

I had two sheets of coated paper left and my 4 year old daughter Grace wanted to help me, so we made these together... :)
