3. Enlarger lenses have Apertures that also affect
how much light is hitting the paper, however, it's
best to stop down to achieve a sharp image and
leave it (start with going 2 stops down to f8).
4. Contrast Grades
-Contrast grades 0 – 1 |
lower contrast
-Contrast grade 2 |
medium or normal
contrast
-Contrast grades 3 – 5 |
higher contrast
You should use filters to
change the contrast of your
photograph. Make sure you
write down which one you have
used when creating test strips

7. A PHOTOGRAM is a photographic print
made by placing objects onto light sensitive paper
and exposing it with light from above (without the
use of a camera)
Also known as
RAYOGRAM after
photographer MAN
RAY who claims to have
discovered the process.

9. In the 1830s, HENRY FOX
TALBOT, a pioneer of
photography, started making
photograms of plants, which he
referred to as
‘PHOTOGENIC
DRAWINGS’.
10. Most PHOTOGRAMS
made in the 1800s were
documentary experiments.
It wasn’t until the
MODERNIST MOVEMENT
in the 20th Century that
artists started to make
photograms as art works
focusing on form,
movement and space.
Many of these artists were
part of the BAUHAUS
MOVEMENT in Germany. Lotte Jacobi
11. László Moholy-Nagy - Photogram,1946
Both Man Ray and Moholy-Nagy brought
photograms from the scientific to the realm
of art. They often used 3-dimensional
objects to see how they would transclate
onto a 2-dimensional photo (light) sensitive
surface. They also often moved to object
during exposure to create different effects.

12. Explore the creative possibilities of different
materials - opaque/translucent. Explore
movement and tonal variations. Combine with
negatives, text, newspaper, acetate images etc.
•Experiment with solarising & making a negative
image.
•Chemical manipulation - paint/spray/sponge
developer and fix.
13. This week……
-Present your ‘Manual Shoot’. Add contact sheets,
enlargements and clear explanations explaining your camera
settings and how your shoot links to your chosen Black and
White Photographer.
-Create a double page exploring AT LEAST two photogram
Artists. Add information on the Artists, their techniques and
your opinions.
-Create AT LEAST a double page of photograms. This should
include test strips and final outcomes. Explain your methods
and link your work to photograms Artists
-Print 1 to 2 images from your Manual shoot as giant
negatives
Deadline: Monday 22nd
October
( Make sure you have your giant negatives ready)
