How to Make A Photogram


What is a Photogram?

A Photogram is made when placing placing objects on a specific type of paper and putting a certain amount of light over it. Images will turn black, white or even grey depending on the objects and amount of light. For this, you do not take any pictures.

How to make a photogram?

To make a a photogram you have to be placed in a dark room. Then you need to place the objects that u want to use on to a photographic paper. When they are placed the way you want them you will put your light over the paper for around five to ten seconds, depending on the strength of your light. Once that is done you slide your photograms into the developer chemical for one minute. While it is in there you want to move the bin a bit to make sure the chemicals get all over the photogram. After the minute is complete you take it out and put it into the stopper bin and leave it in there for 30 seconds while shaking it as well. Then you put the photogram in the fixer for around 2minutes while shaking the bin again. Once all that is done, you place it in a separate bin and bring it to wash for 10min. Finally you put it in the machine to dry and you are done.


If your photogram is too dark, it means the light shinned to bright or for too long. Or if its to light it means that there was not enough light shinned on it for long enough.


If you would like to see more photograms, you can check a few out on this link.

Image Resolution

My camera is a Canon EOS 550D T2i, the memory space that my memory card can hold is 8gb. The amount of pictures that have already been taken is 562. The highest resolution of my camera is 5184x3456 and the weight of a single jpg captured at my cameras highest resolution is 18m. The lowest resolution is 2592x1728 and the weight of a single jpg captured at my cameras lowest resolution is 4.5m. With 0 captured i can take 563 at my highest resolution and i can take 3515 at my lowest resolution. I would use a high resolution image for when i am printing or uploading or emailing a picture.
