In addition to publishing photographers in print, and online in our monthly columns, Don’t Take Pictures also publishes quarterly online exhibitions.

Known for their x-ray-like aesthetic, a photogram is a camera-less process in which objects are placed on top of unexposed light-sensitive paper and exposed to light. The objects render differently depending on the chemistry to create a one-of-a-kind photographic object. Encompassing processes like traditional silver printing, anthotypes, cyanotypes, and lumens, almost any photographic process and render a photogram. For this exhibition, Don’t Take Pictures collaborates with Baldwin Photographic Gallery at Middle Tennessee State University to present an exhibition of contemporary photograms.

The exhibition will be published in Don’t Take Pictures Online from August 19 – November 24, 2020. Select photographers will be chosen for exhibition at Baldwin Photographic Gallery, Middle Tennessee State University.
