Three Photographers who make photograms

Ethan Jantzer


Jantzer's photograms are really interesting to look at, as they show objects that you usually see moving and he captures them very well, with a range of bright colours.
He uses strange tools for his work such as the drink Gatorade as it comes in a range of colours and is cheap to acquire.  To get these results he uses a range of flashes at different angles which creates unique outcomes. 

Floris Neususs



What attracted me to this work was the change in tones from the harsh lines to soft, where parts of the body are further away. He aims to create a sense of surreal detachment and these pieces, to me, appear alienated from something that isn't in the photogram.
On the women's body piece, her hands and lower body is on the photograph paper which shows sharp shapes, whereas her knee and upper body is away from the paper which gives it a blurred effect.
The chair piece is where a photogram of a man sat on a chair is under the actual chair. It's titled 'Be right back' to show the man's absence, which adds to Neususs' work being a performance of some kind. 

Dave Eva



Eva creates cards, each card is a unique photogram. He uses plants he finds on his travels, which he uses for either small card photograms or those of a larger size. To create this effect he shines light onto plants which are on top of some photographic paper.
