Lunagrams

These images are photograms that were exposed by the light of the full moon, hence the term “lunagram”. Using vintage discontinued gelatin silver paper, I create my lunagrams with found plant life collected on land in the Sierra Foothills of California, where a beautiful year-round creek supports a wide diversity of flora. Since the closest city is over 30 minutes away, the light of the full moon is the only illumination that can be detected, which creates an ethereal presence on the rich vintage paper that I use. These prints are processed using traditional wet darkroom techniques, and are toned with selenium. They are all one of a kind.
