A fantastic day at the Cineworks Annex for the FLASHES OF LIGHT workshop with Iris Film Collective’s Alex MacKenzie, and some truly stunning results.
Caffenol and Rayograms, a match made in heaven.

Man Ray’s “Rayograms”
Digital Photo Project 1 Proposal
For our first project, I decided to focus on a more recent moment in my life to inspire my rayograms. I recently made a big change and decided to convert to Catholicism. When I started college, I stopped going to church, and my life reflected that. Deciding to convert has been the best decision I’ve ever made, and it has greatly improved my life. The theme I want to portray is rebirth and renewal because this change in my life feels like I have been reborn. I will use visuals such as a womb and metamorphosis to portray this theme. I am using water because it is a symbol of renewal, which religiously is seen in baptisms. I am also using a rosary as a new important object in my life. I am using tissue paper because it is translucent, so light can pass through it and crumpling it to get texture and variation. I am also using fabric for the same reason.
Proposal #1 Art 383
For this first project we were asked to create rayograms depicting an event in our lives. Over the summer I went to Honduras for the first time, on a mission trip. That trip made a huge impact on me and I wanted to represent it as a rayogram. In the first rayogram, I want to depict mountains. Mountains were on the left and right of your wherever you went in that country. It was beautiful to be surrounded by them. The second rayogram will depict people. The people there were so friendly and sweet. No matter what they were going through they still managed to be present and happy. When I got home from Honduras, I missed the people more than anything. They had nothing to their names, but were some of the happiest people I had seen. They were so thankful that our team had come to their village of Santa Cruz de Guayape.
The materials that I want to use are olive oil, thread, and maybe flour. For the mountain rayogram I want to create a topographic map with the thread to depict the height of the mountains and for texture use flour or olive oil. For the second rayogram I want to use the olive oil to draw abstract representations of people. I loved the way the oil caught light and was represented on the photo paper. I will find a way to use the thread in the people rayogram to connect it with the mountain rayogram.

Rayograms/Photograms
What is a Rayograph?
A rayograph, or photogram, is a picture made on photographic paper without the use of a camera. Different objects are used to mask photographic paper, and light is exposed to it, and the paper darkens where it is not masked.
Example of a Rayograph
This is a Rayograph that is exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In this particular one, Ray used different circular forms such as a coil and thumbtacks to create different shapes, and it has since been compared to the avant-garde painters of the day. I like this piece because of it's unusual, abstract quality, and the way the shapes work together.
Make a list of objects that you could use to produce a Rayograph
Household items (such as combs, brushes, cutlery, jewellery)
Your body (hands)
Mechanical pieces and tools (nuts & bolts, cogs, wrenches, screwdrivers etc...)
Fabrics (lace, net curtains)
Plants and leaves
How to make a Rayograph
Turn off the lights
Prepare the chemicals; Developer, Stop and fix.
Choose non and semi-transparent objects.
Place the paper on an enlarger and make sure the filter is in the correct place to prevent damage to the paper.
Place the objects onto the paper and remove the filter.
Expose the paper for 10 seconds.
Remove the objects carefully, as to not scratch the paper.
Place in the developer for a minute.
Move to the stop for 40 seconds.
Place in the fix for as long as you need.
The work of Anna Atkins uses a lot of natural forms for her photograms, and the ones above use algae.
