Photograms in the Darkroom

Photograms, aka shadow pictures, are photographs made without a camera by positioning objects between a light source and a photographic film or paper. The end result is an image consisting of shapes, forms, and tones, that vary widely depending on the types of objects and how they are used. 

How to make Photograms in the darkroom:

Raise the enlarger head high enough so the circle of light projected by the lens will cover an entire sheet of film or paper 

Close the lens down to a small opening, f16

TURN OFF LIGHT

Position a piece of sheet film or photographic paper, emulsion side up, on the base of the enlarger, directly under the enlarger lens

Place one or more objects either on or just above the light-sensitive material

Turn on the enlarger for a short period of time, 5 seconds, and expose the film or paper

Process the exposed material normally in trays of darkroom chemicals (developer, stop bath, fixer)

Examine the image and decide whether to expose an additional sheet for more or less time, or whether to alter the types of objects used or how they are positioned

A wide variety of objects and techniques can be used such as:leaves,vegetables, feathers, smoke blown between the light and photo-sensitive paper can add a nice variety of tonalities, painted shapes or forms on a piece of glass.

Notable photographers using photograms:

Kunie Sugirua: Electric Dress, 2001

Christian Schad: Schadographie 78: 1963

Man Ray: Rayograph: 1922

Solarization in the Darkroom

Solarization creates a partially reversed image with an unusual negative and positive appearance. Lightly exposed areas are most affected since these are areas that have retained a lot of unexposed silver. 

The distinct lines separating the highlight and the shadow areas are called Mackie lines. These are caused when chemical by-products from the first part of the development reduce additional development. 

How to Solarize in the darkroom:

Develop and agitate the film or paper normally

One-third to halfway through the development remove the film or paper from the developer and put it in water for about 10 seconds, without agitation, to slow up the development process

Now reexpose the film or paper to light briefly (2 seconds) using a low-power bulb (12 to 25 watts) positioned 3 to 4 feet away 

Put the film or paper back into the developer for the remaining development time. Agitate normally. 

How to maximize the results of Solarization:

High-contrast-grade papers give a more dramatic solarized effect than lower-contrast, since solarization has the added effect of lowering image contrast. 

Using a negative with a lot of shadow area or a print with a lot of highlights for maximum effect, since reexposure affects these areas most. 

A solarized print is difficult to reproduce exactly, whereas a negative can be reproduced often with some consistency. 

With prints, dilute developer more than normal. If manufacturer recommends diluting 1:2, dilute 1:4 instead.
