Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii was a Russian photographer who took some of the earliest color photographs between 1909 and 1915. Using a specialized three-lens camera and color separation process, he captured over 2,000 color images documenting the people and landscapes across the Russian Empire. His photographs provide a unique glimpse into life in the Russian Empire in the early 20th century and are considered well ahead of their time technically.
Filmul color nu exista in 1909 in Rusia, dar un fotograf si chimist rus, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii a realizat sute de fotografii ale zonei sale de origine.
Fotografiile erau in alb - negru, dar el a dezvoltat o tehnica ingenioasa care ii permitea sa reproduca imaginile in culorile reale.
A realizat asta cu o camera de fotografiat inteligenta, creata de el insusi, care facea trei fotografii negre apoi alte trei albe in secvente rapide, iar printr-un filtru special iesea o singura fotografie in diferite culori. Fotografia continea trei imagini diferite in trei culori, produsul final fiind o fotografie in culori clare.
Sergei a reusit sa foloseasca un proiector cu care putea vedea pe un ecran toate cele trei imagini care se suprapuneau pina la culoarea finala.
Recombinarile din proiector ajungeau pina la culoarea originala a imaginii fotografiate.
Fiecare serie de cite trei imagini stoca toate informatiile color in fotografii alb si negru, tot ce le lipsea era culoarea, care era data de filtrele color aflate in interiorul proiectorului.
Tarul Nicolae al II-lea a suportat, intru totul, planul ambitios al lui Sergei in realizarea unui documentar despre imperiul rusesc si a pus la dispozitie un tren special echipat si prevazut cu o camera pentru developat.
Astfel, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, a realizat sute de fotografii color peste tot in Rusia intre 1909-1915.
Intreaga sa colectie, poate fi vazuta la Biblioteca Congresului din SUA, americanii fiind cei care au achizitionat negativele sale de sticla in 1948, la 4 ani dupa moartea sa.

Photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II.
He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images.
