Photogram

A picture that is created from real-world things without the use of a camera. This is often done by putting the objects directly onto photographic paper and then exposing both the objects and the paper to light. Once the paper has been chemically processed, an image remains. These days, photography done without a camera is often referred to as "cameraless" photography.
