Photograms

Photograms are a rather primitive photographic technique spearheaded originally by Man Ray with his rayographs. They work on the principal of placing objects between the light sensitive substrate and the light source to expose a negative shadow image. Levels of greyscale depend on the length of the exposure and the transparency of the objects in contact with the photosensitive substrate. There is an element of chance in this experimental and rudimentary method of image capture. Remco has decided a unique and novel way to capture the flow of water in streams and rivers, as outlined in Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith’s essay Night in a River.
