 Alan Jaras Uses Transparent Objects Instead of a Real Lens Published: Apr 27, 09 Comments: 2 Views: 3,877 British photographer and artist Alan Jaras has pioneered a really unique photography technique that produces these amazing surreal pieces. They look like something from outer space to me. It is very scientific, but here is a simplified explanation: Jaras uses transparent, clear objects in place of lenses and photographs through them. The images are captured directly onto 35mm film. The technical description is in the excerpt below; if you know your photography, you should understand this a little more than me. What you have to remember when viewing these images is that they have not been ‘fiddled with’ on the computer in anyway.  A majority of the works are analogue images of the refraction patterns from a beam of light passing through a transparent object (Jaras uses pieces of textured glass). The image is captured directly on to 35mm film, no camera lens is used (a photogram using film instead of photographic paper), the transparent object replaces the lens. Jaras introduces color by placing specially prepared colored filters directly in the light beam.
