Experimental Techniques

There are certain techniques that require certain things to create and usually the result image is very very unique.

Scanograms

Scanograms are where you take a picture with a scanner of an object which creates a certain effect on the object displayed. For example this image above has an image of a doll, 2 pearl like necklaces, doll shoes and a feather like object. on the doll it creates a darkness effect on the sides of the doll while it centers in the image. It almost makes the image look horror like. Scanograms are always in a black background. someone who uses this type of photography is clare west. 

Emulsion transfers

 Emulsion transfers have a complicated process but the result image turns out excellent. Emulsion pictures are where ink jet or laser jet printed photos are diluted onto paper and create a lighter effect on the original image. kathleen carr is a book writer on this type of photography.

Projections 

projection photography is great for pasting faint images onto a person like patterns of abstract painting or galaxies or flowers etc. Everything works for projections but the problem is the shadow that can project onto the background it can either be minuscule or half the background.

Double exposure

Double exposures can give you a great feel for the image on what its trying to tell you like this one above could be saying "keep your evil side in the shadows" or something along those lines. Double exposures can sometimes be done on the camera and/or on photoshop.

Zoom bursts/Abstract zoom

abstract zoom/zoom bursts have a particular effect which makes the image that much better. When you zoom in whilst taking the picture which makes all the image and colors all around the centre of the image blur and look more vibrant.

Light paintings

Light paintings are my favorite type of photography because it gives me a chance to be creative with what i do. outlining someone with light like this makes a bit of the object in the middle light up which adds more effect to the image.
