Step back, before digital, before film, before even cameras were invented. Various experimenters discovered that you could place objects on sensitized paper, expose it to light and capture the “shadow” of the object, preserving it for all time. These camera-less images named Photograms (literally light drawings) captured details and compositions in a totally new and astounding way.
Now learn how to create beautiful Photograms in a new and modern way using your digital camera or phone. (without getting your fingers stained with chemicals!)
In this class we’ll learn a simple set-up you can make at home to create and capture photograms, or shadow images. You’ll use a few inexpensive items you can get at the hardware store and art supply store, along with some things from around the house, and very quickly you’ll be making unique and beautiful images of household objects, items from nature, anything you can imagine!
This class is for anyone who wants to play with light, shadows and composition. No prior knowledge is required… just a willingness to play and explore!
