Photograms

One of the great things about photography is that you don't even need a camera to make art!

In every photography class I have ever taken, we have always started out with photograms to get us used to the enlargers and chemicals in the dark room.

The process is so easy! All you have to do is simply lay objects on a film paper, shine the enlarger light, develop the print, and BAM you have a photogram!




It doesn't even matter what objects you use for this project. Opaque, transparent, or even an object with crazy designs cut out can make for an awesome print. I have even accomplished this project by just using my own body parts such as my hands or even my hair to create cool designs. 

Pinhole Cameras

When starting out in Film Photography, it is very to just start out with the simplest form of camera, which is a Pinhole Camera. The basic functions of a camera are present, without the hassle of lenses, f/stops and shutter speeds.

Focus isn't even an issue when photographing with a Pinhole camera as the image is captured exactly as it is. The hardest part is keeping the box still for long exposures so the image doesn't look fuzzy or blurry.This can be done by just setting the camera down on a flat service to use to steady and make the perfect pictures like the ones shown in the pictures posted.
