2. Time Period: 1840-1890
Technique: Daguerreotype
Year Process was Invented: 1839,1840

30 minutes
The quality of picture was so clear because the process didn’t use grain.
Who created the technique?
A French artist by the name of Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre
How did this technological change affect
photojournalism/photojournalists?
It became beneficial for photojournalism because of the timing of

6. Time Period: 1890-1940
•Technique: Pictorailism
•Year Process was Invented: 1915
•What made the technique popular?
•This technique focuses on the picture as an art piece, instead of the
subject.
•The photographer altered the image by scratching the negative of the
picture.
•Used Gum bichromate which is lessened the detail of the image and made
it more artistic
•The use of soft focus camera
•Who created the technique?
•Henry Peach Robinson
•How did this technological change affect
photojournalism/photojournalists?
•This technique was considered taboo. Many artist who used this technique
walked a fine line in society; which some would consider some
photojournalism as taboo. The photographers would take photographs and
alter their image, not to be deceitful but to be artful.

was distorted to give an eerie appearance to the photograph. Henry was
not praised for this work because it showed a time that was not “suppose”
to be shown by a photographer/artist.

This video shows how photographers would be able to make pictorialistic photograph using current technology
9. Time Period: 1925
• Technique: Cellulose Acetate “safety film”
• Year Process was Invented: 1925
• What made the technique popular?
• The film was much cheaper and more transparent.
• These films replaced the highly flammable cellulose nitrate films.
• Who created the technique?
• Eastman Kodak
• How did this technological change affect
photojournalism/photojournalists?
• This technique changed photojournalism because not only was it
safer to use this product, but the images taken using this roll of film
were not yellow; so the quality of these pictures were much better.
The film was also available to be used at home; making it easier for
amateur photographers to do their work
10. When images are taken using the Cellulose
Acetate, a gas is released causing the effects
shown on the left; this can be prevented by
proper storage.
11. The Video Below shows the importance of the introduction of Cellulose Acetate in order to get rid of
the Cellulose Nitrate. The product was highly flammable and created a hazard for film makers and
photographers.
12. Time Period: 1940-1990
•Technique: Through the lens meter
•Year Process was Invented: 1962
•What made the technique popular?
• Through the lens meters were found in many cameras but were more
commonly found in single lens reflex (SLR) cameras.
• There was no need for the hand held device anymore, the light
reader was installed within the camera.
• The amount of light was calculated based on the amount of light
coming through the lens
•Who created the technique?
•James L. Buie
•How did this technological change affect
photojournalism/photojournalists?
•It is convenient for the photojournalists to have the through the lens meter
(TTL) built into the camera because it eliminates the hassle of having
another object to carry or use. It also helped photojournalism eliminate the
feedback time for their pictures; resulting in moving pictures being able to
be taken.

14. You have probably seen these handheld
through the lens exposure devices in
movies or photo shoots. The
photographer uses this to test the light
exposure.

15. Time Period: 1990-present
•Technique: Digital Cameras
•Year Process was Invented: 1994
•What made the technique popular?
•In 1994 these cameras were the first digital cameras that could be used via
serial cable for the computer.
•This made images easily transferable, which became convenient for the
average person.
•Who created the technique?
•Steven Sasson
•How did this technological change affect
photojournalism/photojournalists?
•This technology allowed photojournalists to take images using their camera
and being able to upload pictures instantly, instead of having to develop the
images. Photojournalists were able to alter images and they could be halfway
across the world and upload images of their whereabouts.
