1839 Daguerreotype

1920s Photojournalism

1988 Adobe Photoshop

1888 Kodak Roll-film Camera

1861 First durable photograph

1850s War Photographer Roger Fenton

1947 First Polaroid instant camera

1960 Garry Winogrand

1980s Peter Henry Emerson

• Invented by Eastman patents

• First Kodak camera, containing a 20-foot roll of paper, enough for 100 2.5-inch diameter circular pictures.

• begins photographing women on the streets of New York City street photographer

• known for his portrayal of American life

• American physicist Dr. Edwin Land invented a one-step process for developing and printing photos by applying the principle of diffusion transfer

• the Polaroid instant camera revolution was born, with Ansel Adams as one of Polaroid’s greatest proponents.

• to create a photographic system that was seamless and easy for anyone to use.

• The first roll film cameras required the photographer to use a light meter to take a reading of the light level, then to set the exposure setting on the lens.

a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture, a pinhole

• Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box.

• to be found in the writings of Mozi (470 to 390 BCE), a Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohism.

• taken by Thomas Sutton in 1861

• the very first made by the three-colour method Maxwell first suggested in 1855

• were developed, printed on glass, then projected onto a screen with three different projectors, each equipped with the same colour filter used to photograph it

• known for taking photographs that displayed natural settings and for his disputes with the photographic establishment about the purpose and meaning of photography.

• Promoted "naturalistic" photography and took photographs in sharp focus to record country life as clearly as possible

• claimed that photography should be seen as a genre of its own, not one that seeks to imitate other art forms

With more portable cameras came more "street photography" with Henri Cartier-Bresson ("the decisive moment") advocating a snapshot style, Berenice Abbot and Helen Levitt documented New York City. Of course photojournalism had been carried on since the 1840s but the widespread use of the style had to wait for more portable cameras.

• became during the “golden age” of photography in the 1850s.

• Originally recognized for his architecture and landscape photography, Fenton was dispatched to cover the Crimean War in 1855

• Fenton was unable to photograph moving subjects because of technology limitations

• focused on posed portraits and landscapes.

• chose not to photograph dead or injured soldiers.

• created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll

• it has become the de facto industry standard in raster graphics editing

• present Photoshop as a mass-market, fairly simple tool for anyone to use

• the first publicly announced photographic process and for nearly twenty years was the one most commonly used.

• the daguerreotypist polished a sheet of silver-plated copper to a mirror finish; treated it with fumes that made its surface light-sensitive

• Distinctive features : image is on a mirror-like silver surface, normally kept under glass,

• a pioneering Victorian art photographer and an expert in photomontage

• combined photography with painting

• the father of art photography.

• a big blue contraption that could capture an image, convert that information into an electronic signal, then digitize the signal and store it in memory.

• weighed 8 pounds (3.6kg), captured a black and white image with a resolution of .01 megapixels.

• It took 23 seconds to record the image onto the storage medium — a cassette — and an additional 23 seconds to read the image and display it on a television screen.

• new all-electronic lens mount

• "EOS (Electro Optical System).

• guidance :no price increase, a lightweight design, and a autofocus sensitivity

• embarked upon a two-year period of research and development

• used with currently available black-and-white films and printing papers

• Use light-sensitive materials: A suspension of silver salts in gelatin

• This latent image is relatively stable and will persist for some months without degradation provided the film is kept dark and cool.

• has a style that makes him a natural on any top ten photographer list.

• His style has undoubtedly influenced photography as much as anyone else’s.

• He was among the first to use 35mm film, and he usually shot in black and white. We are not graced by more of his work

• recognised as a pioneer in Polar photography

• Embellished images to maximise visual impact by way of composite printing, mounted his first exhibition in Sydney.

• commitment "to illustrate to the public the things our fellows do and how war is conducted"

• captured many stunning battlefield scenes

• Joseph Nicéphore Niépce is credited with producing the first permanently fixed photographic image from nature

•exposure lasts at least eight hours and probably several days.

• used a camera obscura

• Use “heliography”- washed with a mixture of oil of lavender and white petroleum

• Invented by Frederick Scott Archer

• Also known as wet plate

• images required only two or three seconds of light exposure.

• by the end of that decade it had almost entirely replaced the first practical photographic process

• required the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed and developed within the span of about fifteen minutes

• were capable of recording microscopically fine detail
