CHEMIGRAMS
For this Unit in A-level photography, i played around using bleach with my Chemigrams.
'A chemigram is an experimental piece of art where an image is made by painting with chemicals on light-sensitive paper. Chemigrams were invented in the 1950s by Belgian artist Pierre Cordier.' (Wikipedia)
PHOTOGRAMS
In this unit, i explored the technique of creating Photograms. I wanted to use plants and feathers to gain different opacity's and transparency, which would create the effect of different textures.
'A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light.' (Wikipedia)
CYANOTYPES
Whilst exploring Cyanotypes, i decided to base it on nature again as i liked the results from the previous work. I managed to gain the blue tones, but also edited them to gain some brownish tones.
'Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.' (Wikipedia)
