I haven't really focussed on photograms ever throughout my photography course so doing this was really interesting as I only briefly went into it. I took photograms of my hands doing love hearts or just my hand flat or clenched in a ball then shone the light for about 6-7 seconds. All my photos and experimentations are in my sketch book.
I then wanted to go a bit further and take my Uta Barth images and edit them onto the photogram which I had scanned into the computer. I changed the opacity and feathered the image as I cropped it with the magnetic lasor tool.
I wanted to use these images in specific as they are black and white but I liked the thought as my theme is loneliness and it fitting in well with it because the hand and specifically the first clench (my second picture) is like a metaphor of not being able to escape or express, always feeling tight and closed in with no-one there.
