Here are some key ways he impacted photography: Experimental TechniquesRayographs (Photograms): Man Ray pioneered the use of photograms, which he called "rayographs," by placing objects directly on light-sensitive paper and exposing them to light. This technique allowed him to create surreal, abstract images without using a camera.Solarization: Along with Lee Miller, Man Ray rediscovered and popularized the solarization technique, which involves exposing a partially developed photograph to light, creating unique, halo-like effects.Dada and Surrealism: Man Ray's work was deeply rooted in the Dada and Surrealist movements. His photographs often featured dreamlike, unconventional compositions that challenged traditional photography norms.Influence on Modernism: By incorporating elements of abstraction and surrealism into his photography, Man Ray helped translate the vogue for African art into a Modernist aesthetic, influencing the broader art world.Portraiture and FashionCelebrity Portraits: Man Ray was renowned for his portraits of influential figures such as Pablo Picasso, James Joyce, and Salvador Dalí, capturing the essence of Parisian cultural life during the 1920s and '30s
