I thought chemicals are what you develop your photos in. I was wrong.. Well I am right but the chemicals used in photographic development (I have learned) can be used for so much more!
It's called a Chemigram. It's sort of like painting with chemicals. Almost doesn't resemble photography at all. However the lines can blurr.
Here's one by New Zealand artist Polly Marriner. Beautiful isn't it, looks almost like a landscape!
The lines can blur further as photography and chemography such as in this photo by Flickr user Ania Pajada:
It combines the use of different negative/positive images with different kinds of chemistry usage to form a beautiful image.
Here's a version of mine:
In this photo, I ws printing it for my final assessment work but it didn't turn out the way I wanted to. So I reacted it to some light outside the dark room and played around with getting it to respond out of order with the chemicals.
Not quite as good as the other ones I've mentioned but still pretty cool, I must admit!
