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 negative shadow image varying in tone, depending on the transparency of the objects used. Areas of the paper that have received no light appear white; those exposed through transparent or semi-transparent objects appear grey.
These photograms are made by pupils of the St Michaelschool in Groningen; Maureen, Anne, Luka, Mylene, Kaatje en Jolevi

Using washing up liquid to create bubbles in a glass dish. Put light sensitive paper underneath and set light timer to 9 seconds.
Different technique to the traditional “photogram”
I used snake skin to create the sectional effect
*scan no alterations
Photo I took of model in the bath, I then edited the photograph to black and white and reversed the colours, I then used the photogram process which reverses the colours back again, but adds a grainy effect.

I did a photogram during a workshop, using sticks and leaves I collected with a LEGO figure in the centre. I then photocopied this photogram and coloured it using heat-transfer paint so I could print it onto fabric, but I found I liked this version much more than the fabric piece.
This photogram was created by Emilio Amero. I was drawn to his work because of the high contrast in his prints. I was specifically drawn to this photogram because of the composition. The forms around the shell are very vague and unidentifiable. The way the forms circle around the shell create movement in the piece and always lead your eye back to the shell. I like the use of a natural form in the photogram.
