Rayographs; Camera-less Photography!


Here are a few photographs made by our year 11 students, with a big difference; they are made without a camera!

You place objects directly onto the surface of photographic paper and then expose it to light. After a chemical process, the result is a negative image; the reverse of a silhouette.
