Photogram Photography

For this project we would take some photo paper and place either physical objects or transparencies on top of them and their outlines and some details would show up. 


For this photogram I placed some plastic dollar bills on top of the photo paper. Since they are plastic, thin, and had some transparent bits, you could see the many details on both sides of the bills. This was probably my favourite because they ended up looking really cool, especially since, for whatever reason, some bits would come out blurry sometimes.


For this self-portrait, I printed out a photo of myself onto a transparency and placed it on top of the photo paper. I tried really hard to get the full spectrum of light to dark shades, but for some reason, I couldn't get many white areas.


This was an Imitation of a Photogram by Melanie K. First I created the image on Photoshop using different brushes and then I printed it out onto a transparency and used it to create the image. Like my self-portrait, I couldn't get this photogram to show any white areas. I think I should've made the image darker on photoshop so that less light could've passed through.
