THE HISTORY OF
PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography is an art form invented in 1830s.



Before photography was created, people had figured out the basic
principles of lenses and the camera. People used Camera Obscura

for processing pictures.



The first photo picture was taken in 1825 by a French inventor
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. It records a view from the window at

Le Gras.



In 1839, Sir John Herschel came up with a way of making the first
glass negative.



Color photography was explored throughout the 19th century,
but didn't become truly commercially viable until the middle of

the 20th century.



The first ever picture to have a human in it was Boulevard du
Temple by Louis Daguerre, taken in 1838.

PHOTOGRAPHY

(MONOCHROME)

Vintage photography began in the
15th Century with Robert Boyle’s
discovery of silver chloride turning
dark when exposed to air in a dark
room.

The first camera photography was
invented in the 1820s.

In 1826, French scientist Joseph
Nicéphore Niépce exposed a bitumen-
coated plate in a camera obscura for
eight hours and captured an image
that would have seismic permutations.
This technique is known as
heliography.

In 1839, French painter Louis Jacques Daguerre
applied a light-sensitive silver iodide layer onto a

copper plate that was exposed in a pinhole
chamber. The result was an unstable silver image
and upside down. These prints came to known as

Daguerreotypes.



In 1841, the Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot
succeeded in reproducing images by making prints

from a negative. This technique is known as
Calotype.



Joseph's invention was later improved by other
scholars and in the year 1891, Lipmann Gabriel
developed a process of making naturally colored
photographs, based on the phenomenon of optical

light wave interface.

COLOUR
PHOTOGRAPHY

Color photography was attempted beginning in
the 1840s.



The foundation of all practical color processes,
the three-color method was first suggested in
an 1855 paper by Scottish physicist James Clerk

Maxwell.



The first color photograph produced by Thomas
Sutton.



Debuted in France in 1907 by Auguste and Louis
Lumière, Autochrome was the first generally
practical color photographic process.

In 1935, Leopold Godowsky and Leopold Mannes
ushered in the modern era of color photography by
inventing Kodachrome, a color positive (or "slide")

film produced with a subtractive color
photography process.



In 1936, the Agfa Company in Germany created
the Agfacolor negative-positive process. However,
World War II prevented release of the process until

1949. In the meantime, in 1942, Kodak released
their negative-positive color film, Kodacolor.



Color photography was brought into the fine art
field.



Ernst Haas was bridging the gap between pure
photojournalism and photography by using color
photography as a creative, expressive medium.



The Illustrated London News was the first to
introduce color in a newspaper when it printed
color pictures in its Christmas Day edition in 1855.



Magazines began using color photography for

advertising in the 1890s.

DEVELOPMENT IN
PHOTOGRAPHY

The first cameras were only able to project a very
small image onto a surface but were unable to
capture the image. People utilized these pinhole

images from the 4th century until the 16th century.



The small portable boxes, also known as camera
obscura, produce a brighter and sharper image and
was most frequently used as a drawing aid by artists.



Photos were only available as negatives and were
highly susceptible to damage if exposed to excessive

light.


During the latter half of the 1900s, individuals could
capture multiple photos on a single film reel and
develop them in a much shorter time frame.


The first digital cameras hit shelves in 1995 and
allowed users a way to capture and view photos
without film, negatives, or physical prints.

Digital camera and mobile phones become
more advanced and able to produce higher

quality images.



Photo digitization removes the risk of
damage, ensures that they are properly filed
and remain accessible by everyone for many

years to come.

Basic Process Involved In
Producing Conventional
Photograph

Exposure

Once the film is loaded inside the camera it is ready to
be exposed. The camera optics focus an image through
the lens and onto the emulsion grains. The areas
touched by light are dark and the unexposed areas
appear light.

Development

Inside the darkroom, the film is removed from its
canister, wound onto a spool, and stored in a plastic
container to protect it from light and physical damage.
The film is submerged in a tank containing a solution of
the developing chemicals. After the development is
stopped, a fixative can be added to lock in the image.
The finished negative then may be washed and rinsed.
The reel is then removed from the tank and the fresh
negatives are hung up to dry.

Printing

The light source is an enlarger, which uses a lens to
focus light through the negative and project it onto
light-sensitive paper. The positive image on this paper is
then developed. The print is mounted on cardboard or
other backing material.

FUNCTIONS OF
DIGITAL

PHOTOGRAPHY
TECHNOLOGY

COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Commercial photography is often used
as advertising material, to promote or
sell products.

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY

Documentary photography is primarily focused
on documenting life moments and events. The
purpose is to capture the moment so it will not
just fade away.

JOURNALISM PHOTOGRAPHY

Journalism photography is used is to deliver
the news. The goal is to make people
understand what happened at that moment
in relation to the news.

EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Editorial photography is usually used for
publications such as magazines. It is not
created to just sell products, but more to
tell stories and for more educational and
informative purposes.

ART PHOTOGRAPHY

Used by artists to show ideas, concepts,
messages, and emotions through a picture.
The artist uses photographs as their media.

Resolution in Megapixels
The number of pixels determines the maximum size of the
resulting image and its sharpness, especially when printed. The
higher the resolution to start, the better the results.

User Interface
Uses a combination of physical buttons and on-screen menus.

Optical and Electronics Quality
The color and geometric accuracy of the pixels in the CCD or
CMOS sensor combined with the camera's internal processing
circuits make all the difference.

Optical vs. Digital (Interpolated) Zoom
The optical zoom is the real resolution of the lenses. The
digital zoom is an interpolated resolution computed by
software. The higher the optical number, the better.

Storage Media
SD cards, CompactFlash and Memory Sticks are the "digital
film".

Data Transfer
Digital cameras come with a USB cable for transfer directly
to the computer, and many computers come with one or
more memory card slots.

Battery Duration
Digital cameras use either rechargeable or standard AA
batteries.

Interchangeable Lenses
Digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras are the digital
counterparts of their analog predecessors.

LCD Screen and Viewfinder
Small, point-and-shoot cameras use a "live preview" LCD
screen to take pictures and display the stored images. The
larger the LCD screen, the more the camera serves as a
convenient playback device. Bright sunlight can wash out an
LCD, making it difficult to see the image. Thus, some point-
and-shoot cameras also include a viewfinder.
