Throughout his career he became proficient and innovative in the fields of photography, typography, sculpture, painting and print making. His main focus was photography, he termed it "new vision" for his belief that photography could create a whole new way of seeing the outside which the human eye could not.
He experiment the process of exposing light sensitive paper with objects over laying it called 'photograms' an example is pictured below.

| Similar to Man Ray's photogram this photogram creates a sense of movement by the layout and the tonal range is very good as you can a variety of colours. I like Moholy-Nagy's work and I believe it is very influencing towards my photograms. |
