Surrealism

Man Ray an artist Born in August 1890 in the USA Philadelphia and spent his childhood in New York is one of the most well known and acclaimed surrealist photographers, he is mostly famous for the originator of the Rayography technique where an object is placed on top of light sensitive paper, the sheet is then exposed to an enlarger which lightens only the parts that are not covered by the objects to produce a final developed image of the silhouettes of the subject. For example this image Rayography Champs délicieux no.8, taken in 1922 was made by Man Ray by cutting up strips of paper to develop an almost 3D spiral effect. I find this technique extremely interesting and would like to experiment in the 
dark room in the future. I chose this because I can see a connection to surrealism as it is extremely ambiguous meaning it is difficult to see what the photograph consists of without researching into the concept and techniques.
