The purpose of this article is to introduce the past and present worlds of pho-
tography. You will also find some important tips to help you take better photos
along the way.

A Brief History of Photography and the People
Who Made It Succeed

Color photography started to become popular and accessible with the release of Eastman Kodak’s “Kod-
achrome” film in the 1930s. Before that, almost all photos were monochromatic – although a handful of
photographers, toeing the line between chemists and alchemists, had been using specialized techniques to
capture color images for decades before. You’ll find some fascinating galleries of photos from the 1800s or early
1900s captured in full color, worth exploring if you have not seen them already.
These scientist-magicians, the first color photographers, are hardly alone in pushing the boundaries of one of
the world’s newest art forms. The history of photography has always been a history of people – artists and in-
ventors who steered the field into the modern era.
So, below, you’ll find a brief introduction to some of photography’s most important names. Their discoveries,
creations, ideas, and photographs shape our own pictures to this day, subtly or not. Although this is just a brief
bird’s-eye view, these nonetheless are people you should know before you step into the technical side of pho-
tography

What Is
Photography?

Photography is the art of capturing light with a camera, usually via a digital sensor or film, to cre-
ate an image. With the right camera equipment, you can even photograph wavelengths of light
invisible to the human eye, including UV, infrared, and radio.

Ansel Adams Ansel Adams
Genre: Landscape photography
Where: United States
When: 1920s to 1960s (for most of his work)
Impact: Ansel Adams is perhaps the most famous
photographer in history, which is remarkable be-
cause he mainly took pictures of landscapes and
natural scenes. (Typically, famous photographers
have tended to photograph people instead.) Ansel
Adams helped usher in an era of realism in landscape
photography, and he was an early champion of the
environmentalism and preservation movements in
the United States.
Quote: “There is nothing worse than a sharp image of
a fuzzy concept.”

“There is nothing worse
than a sharp image of a

A nature trip will give you a
breath of fresh air

Different modes of transportation exist in the city.
In parallel, it is also in the city where different
processes that increase the carbon footprint of hu-
mankind can be found. Thus, it can be deemed that
the air you breathe in urban areas such as the city you
live in can already be deemed polluted. You may feel

ple around you are experiencing the same. Medical
professionals may give you the medicines you may
need to help you get better and you may find that this
work for quite some time, until you eventually get ill
again.

A nature trip can boost your cre-
ativity

There is just something in nature that is so inspir-
ing. There are writers that spend days, weeks,
months, and even years in log cabins because they
find it easier to write in the stillness of nature. In the
same manner, poets and composers often go far and
wide in search for an inspiration to write their next
poem or compose their next song. More often than
not, they find what they are looking for in the midst
of a nature travel, either through a hike on a trail,
camping outdoors, or even through a stroll on wthe
beach.

A nature trip will boost your
Vitamin D

The sun is your best natural source of Vitamin
D. Vitamin D is important to help your body
absorb other nutrients such as calcium which
is essential for bone growth. It is also important for
other body functions, as well as to minimize your
risk for diseases. While the sun is known to have
harmful UV rays that may cause skin and health
problems, the sun is also important for good health.

I can’t answer that with any logic to be honest. It is

In the very beginning of your lighting journey, you
will want something versatile and with the ability
to mount directly on your camera. Something like
the Bolt VB-11 Bare-Bulb Flash. Being bare bulb
means that it can provide a similar look to clas-
sic strobes with 360° coverage and high power at
180Ws. It benefits greatly from accessories to mod-
ify the light, all of which are included in the Flash

and Accessory Kit.
