When I first saw photograms on Google Images I thought ‘This
shouldn’t be hard, we just put some light above objects’’. The reality was far
from that. There are so many details you have to think of; the amount of light,
the amount of time, what objects to put on the light-sensitive paper, how to
place them, use the sheet from the right side…the list is endless. Here are the
results.
Second out of four tries:
My objects were a necklace and a transparent heart from a
pendant. Once everything placed, I lighted the objects for approximately five
seconds, not very far from the desk (maybe a few cm). I think the necklace came out pretty well, except for a few unfocused
beads on the right. As for the heart, it seems that the light was too much as
we can barely see its shape. However, I find interesting that there are three
darker spots on the heart and to me, it kind of looks like a smiley face.
Third out of four tries:
For this photogram, I used a small bottle
of perfume, a lot of mechanical pencil leads and the lids of the little boxes in which
you put the leads.
I
put all the pencil leads all around the bottle of perfume. Surprisingly, it seems like I put them on the bottle of perfume which I found
weird yet interesting. I think this has to do with the location of my light
source. Additionally, this time I held the light for three seconds and we can
notice there is much more contrast. So I guess for me, it was not How much
light but How Long to expose to light.
I wish I could re-do some photograms because this was really fun!
