About Photogram Rayograph
The photogram is camera-less photography: objects laid directly on light-sensitive paper print as white and gray silhouettes on an inky black ground. Man Ray called his "rayographs"; Moholy-Nagy framed them as pure light composition. Fully exposed paper reads dense black, masked areas white, transparent objects gray — with silver halation where light bends around glass.
This system distills that avant-garde darkroom into an interface: ghost-white forms, generous black negative space, and crisp geometric silhouettes ringed with silver glow.
