2. A photogram is a photograph that is made without the use of a camera You make a photogram by placing objects directly onto a light sensitive material and exposing it all to light… The result is a negative shadow image that will vary in tone depending on the opacity of the object placed on top.

12. When creating a photogram, the objects you choose and the way that they react to light, will determine the look of your image. It’s all about translucency… how much light can pass through the object to the paper?
