Photogram

         

The photogram assignment was a great experience. I was never exposed to photograms in the past before. The first class we did this assignment, the result was not the greatest because my first photogram came out all black. I learned that what made my photogram turn black was the strong LED light which I used to expose the object on to the paper. My first experience was not the best and I was disappointed.

The second time we did it, I used a light source that was not the same as before and which was the light of my screen from my phone. This time it worked, the photogram did not turn out black. The only problem was that I didn’t expose the light for a longer period of time which caused my photogram to turn out grey and not black. I was happy that I got an image at least. The process to develop the photogram was not an issue because everything was timed accordingly from the developer to the stopper and then the fixer.

The reason I chose a cassette is because music means a lot to me. I think the cassette and heart made a solid statement that this photogram is about music. If I had a chance to change something, I would probably add some more objects and make sure I get enough light exposure. Overall, I really enjoyed this experience and would do it again if I had the chance to.
