Rayograph

A Rayograph is a photographic print created by placing objects onto photosensitive paper and exposing them to light.

The term ‘Rayograph’ was coined by Man Ray to describe his unique approach to creating photograms. Photograms are photographic prints made by arranging objects and materials directly onto photosensitive paper and exposing them to light, typically without the use of a camera. Man Ray's ‘Rayographs’ are a notable and influential example of this technique.
