Combination Photogram- Negative printing The
images created for the Codes of
Survival project, and Adze
to Coda, I use a combination of two photographic techniques,
traditional photographic enlargements made from standard negatives and
the photogram where objects
are laid directly on the photographic paper. To print a combination
of both on one piece of photographic paper demands considerable skill,
patients and a little bit of luck. Because of this each image
is a unique print.
1. There may be many ways of achieving this but this is the way I worked for Codes of Survival. The combination technique requires that the photograph aspect is enlarged and correctly exposed from a traditional photographic negative onto the paper first. In the normal manner I established the size the photographic image was to be, made a series of test strips and work prints. I noted this information, the height of the enlarger head, exposure time, f stop etc. for later.
