Photogram is a cameraless image made by placing objects directly on photo paper and exposing them to light, creating glowing white silhouettes on deep black.
Transparency is your secret weapon. Solid objects yield flat white cutouts, but translucent materials like glassware, lace, or petals allow light to bleed through, producing ghostly x-ray gradients and radiant internal refractions.
Watch the depth. Remember that a photogram is made without a camera lens. If your prompt starts generating depth of field (a blurry out-of-focus background), dial it out—true darkroom prints keep everything on a single, starkly flat paper plane.
