Photographers Darkroom at Photo Museum Ireland
You will be briefly introduced to both photogram and chemigram processes; then, you will head to the darkroom and learn how to prepare the chemicals for producing your images.
Photograms
We will be using photographic paper and exposing it to light, and learning how to develop and fix the images we create. The results are incredibly effective, visually stunning black-and-white photographs made without a camera.
Preparing the enlarger for Photogram making.
We will then move on to the Chemigram process.
Chemigram
Chemigrams are photographic images made by painting on light-sensitive paper.
You will explore various application methods and techniques to develop your chemigrams and look at how everyday household items like coffee, lemon, toothpaste, etc., can be applied to photosensitive paper to create unique images.
The photos have a watercolour-like appearance, and the opportunities to experiment are limitless.
