Rayograms

A Rayogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The result is a negative shadow image varying in tone, depending on the transparency of the objects used. Areas of the paper that have received no light appear white, those exposed through transparent or semi-transparent objects appear grey.



Test Strip 2,4,6,8,10 seconds 

I exposed the this at 15 seconds 

This was created by have my light timer set to 2 seconds, i started off with the scissors closed an slowley opened them up after every 2 second exposier

This is a very similer rayograham in the sence i used the same method but just rotated the scissors 

simple 12 second 

Here i developed my picture by painting on the developer using a paint brush, i love the outcome of this rayogram 



These 3 are a set, the chain, paper clips and broken glass, all exposed at 20 seconds 

Playing around with the developer, splashing on to see the effect i got, i like the outconme but its not 100% clear 

Movement, 2 seconds each, in total 14 seconds 

Painting on developer where my focus was 

keyhole, key and lock, a set the each other
