Materials that can be used to make photograms & other potentials
While most photograms are made with
standard black and white photographic paper, the Photogram is a process
that lends itself to experimenting and in terms of materials, the
limiting factor is only one's imagination.
X-rays:
It is often said photograms have an x-ray like quality, but the x-ray
can also be used to make creative images. When we have our teeth or
our body x-rayed the image is actually a photogram; there is no camera
involved.
The plate is laid under
the bones to x-rayed and the exposure made. If one has access to the
equipment some very interesting images can be produced. While the
images might have to be reproduced through digital printing, electronic
x-ray devices such as those used at airport offer interesting possibilities
in colour.
