This document summarizes the early history of photography, including the invention of key photographic processes: The camera obscura was an early optical device that projected an image and helped lead to the development of photography. Joseph Nicéphore Niépce created the first permanent photograph in 1826 using a camera and asphalt to capture an image of a country scene. Louis Daguerre later invented the daguerreotype process which produced the first commercially successful photographic process that resulted in highly detailed positive images on silver-coated copper plates. John Herschel invented the cyanotype process, also known as the blueprint process, which produced cyan-blue prints on light-sensitive paper and was popular for reproducing engineering drawings.

Invention of photography
Photography began with the development of the camera obscura in the 11th century, which projected images onto a surface. In the early 1800s, Thomas Wedgwood and Joseph Nicéphore Niépce made the first photographs by capturing images on light-sensitive surfaces, with Niépce's 1826 photograph being the earliest permanent photograph. Louis Daguerre then invented the daguerreotype process in 1837, which was the first publicly available photographic process. Since then, photography has evolved with the development of new cameras, films, and technologies, including Kodak's Brownie camera, the SLR, instant cameras, digital cameras, and camera phones.
Chapter 6 designer part 1
This document discusses the history and evolution of theatrical set design within the proscenium arch style of theater. It describes how designers began adding "false prosceniums" just behind the original to narrow the stage opening and decorate the overall design. Examples are given of false proscenium designs for various plays. The document also discusses how sets evolved to resemble architecturally correct interior rooms with the illusion that the audience is looking through a removed fourth wall. Examples are shown of sets for Sherlock Holmes and 1776 that give the feeling of a thrust stage and convey the time of day through lighting and colors.

Myp lighting
This document discusses lighting techniques used in drama studios, halls, and theaters. It outlines three main types of lights - profile spotlights, fresnel spotlights, and floods. Profile spotlights create a hard edge circle of light, fresnels light an area with a soft edge, and floods provide general light. Various accessories like gobos, barn doors, and gels are used to focus, shape, and color lighting to set the mood, enhance sets and costumes, and draw attention to certain areas of the stage. An effective lighting design brings all these techniques together under the direction of the lighting designer and director to create the desired atmosphere for a performance.
Chapter 11 illusion of motion
This document discusses various techniques artists use to suggest motion in static works of art. It describes 7 techniques: 1) repeating figures to imply a narrative over time, 2) cropping figures to seem they are escaping the frame, 3) using blurred outlines and fast shapes to depict speed, 4) overlaying multiple images of the same figure in slightly different poses, 5) using curved lines to show movement pathways, 6) grouping multiple images to create an impression of motion, and 7) exploiting optical effects like afterimages and eye tracking with undulating lines. Examples are provided to illustrate each technique.
Horror cinematography
This document outlines cinematography techniques used in horror films including chiaroscuro, realism, and examples from Open Water and Cabin in the Woods. Chiaroscuro uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume. Realism aims to present an unmanipulated mirror of the actual world using available lighting and handheld or stationary cameras. Examples of scenes are provided from Open Water during a night storm and Cabin in the Woods but no details are given. The document tasks recreating a still from one of the example clips.

3 lighting genres comparisons
A circus performance uses specific lighting styles and techniques to complement costumes and acts. Lights draw the audience in and highlight unique performances like acrobats. Different venues require different lighting approaches. Lighting art accurately conveys the artist's intended message by illuminating pieces neutrally without specials. Proper lighting techniques avoid damage to paintings over time. Vertical illumination along walls is ideal for art galleries to emphasize artwork without directly lighting pieces. Retail stores employ lighting to set unique atmospheres that attract target audiences through techniques like open white washes, colored washes, spotlights and practical fixtures.
Perspective

Timeline of photography (2)
The document provides a timeline of key developments in photography from 470 BCE to present day:
- Camera obscuras were first used in 470-390 BCE to project images onto a screen.
- In the 16th century, camera obscuras were improved by enlarging the hole and adding a lens. In the 17th century, they became portable as sedan chairs.
- The first permanent photograph took 8 hours to develop in 1827 by coating paper with silver chloride.
- Kodak invented the first camera that used film in 1889.
- The first photo of a human was taken in 1838. The first photo of the moon was taken in 1968 by Apollo 8. Modern cameras now use megap
Pinhole
Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, much faster than sound, which travels at about 1,100 feet per second. The first recorded discovery of the pinhole camera phenomenon occurred around 500 BC in China. Mo-Ti described light passing through a small hole and projecting an inverted image on an opposite wall. By the 17th century, this principle had evolved into the camera obscura. Key characteristics of pinhole cameras include softer, less sharp images with nearly infinite depth of field compared to lens-based cameras.
Presentation4
This document describes a variation on the game of hide-and-seek called "Hide, Click, Capture" where one player seeks hidden players using a camera, while hidden players can use tinfoil to obscure flash photos and must be fully captured in a picture to be out. The game is presented as a fun way for photographers to practice camera skills like exposure and shutter speed at night.
Installation art - deizuree t.
Installation art describes three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Some key developments include Johannes Baader presenting one of the first installation works at the 1920 International Dada fair in Berlin. In 1942, Marcel Duchamp created "Mile of String," and in 1963 Nam June Paik first used video in an installation. Installation art can involve land art that links the landscape to the work, interactive art that involves the spectator, or art interventions that interact with existing artworks or spaces. Examples provided are works by Damien Hirst, Mark Bridger, Robert Smithson, Hannes Broecker, and installations by Yoshitomo Nara and Suh Do
Initial ideas
Photomontage involves stitching multiple photographs together to create a single large image. This technique was popularized in the mid-Victorian era and by British artist David Hockney. Modern image editing programs allow for automated photomontage creation by arranging shots into a complete picture. Long exposure photography uses a very long shutter speed, usually while the camera is stationary on a tripod. This captures movement over time, creating "ghosting" effects of people or vehicles. A long exposure can combine light trails from aircraft, vehicles, and buildings at night into a single image.
Lighting in a dance show
Lighting is important for dance performances to sculpt the body and enhance movement, color, shape, and emotion. Side lighting can be used to light performers from feet to head from off-stage positions to create shadows that fall off-stage. Experimenting with side lighting positions from overhead bars, booms, or floor stands can make performers glow in high contrast to the darker stage and set. A variety of saturated colors can be combined from each side of the stage to create startling effects and moods rather than realism.
PHOTOGRAPHY
This document discusses various types of photography and digital art. It describes photography as using light-sensitive chemicals or film to capture images. Digital art can involve computer-generated images, video, photography, or traditional drawing techniques. Digital sculpting uses computer software to manipulate and add texture to shapes. The document also outlines the evolution of cameras from early studio cameras to modern digital SLRs and smartphone cameras.
The History Of Photography
Camera obscura technology from the 16th century helped improve portable boxes that could recreate upside down images on walls parallel to small holes where light passed through. John Herschel invented the cyanotype process where white paper treated with chemicals turns blue when exposed to light, except where objects on the paper block the light and leave outlines. The daguerreotype created by Louis Daguerre and Nicéphore Niépce was the first successful commercial photography process resulting from their partnership and research improving photochemical technology.
Lect1 nathan
The pinhole camera, or camera obscura, has been known since 400 BC and was studied and developed over centuries. In 1827, Joseph Nicephore Niepce used a pinhole camera to produce the first photographic image called a heliograph by exposing a bitumen-coated metal plate. Louis Daguerre later improved the process, leading to the creation of daguerreotypes in 1839 and ushering in the age of modern photography.
History of photography
The document provides a brief history of early photography, including:
1) It describes the camera obscura and how early photographers used the device to project images that could then be traced to create representations before the advent of photography.
2) It discusses Nicephore Niepce as developing the world's first photograph in 1826 and his later partnership with Daguerre that led to the Daguerreotype process.
3) It covers the contributions of Sir John Herschel, who discovered the sodium thiosulfate photographic fixer in 1819 and informed others of its use, allowing for the creation of the first blueprints.
camera
The camera obscura is an optical device that projects an external image onto a screen in a darkened space. The earliest reference to the pinhole camera, a precursor to the camera obscura, was by the Chinese philosopher Mo-Ti in 470 BCE. A digital camera records still images or video digitally using an electronic image sensor, allowing images to be immediately viewed, stored in large quantities, and deleted to save space. Point-and-shoot cameras automate all camera settings but have limited control, while DSLR cameras allow manual control and interchangeable lenses for more advanced photography. Demand for digital cameras, especially DSLRs, has grown due to technological advances, lower prices, and interest in emerging markets.
Principles of the Camera Obscura
Mark W. Decker enjoys learning about the history of photography and has become familiar with the camera obscura, one of the earliest image capture tools. The camera obscura has its origins in ancient times when Chinese philosopher Mo-Ti described the formation of an inverted image via light passing through a pinhole opening in a darkened room. Later, Aristotle and Islamic scholar Alhazen experimented with the same concept using light from lanterns. The inverted image forms because light rays cross when passing through a small opening, causing an upside-down version of the scene to appear on the opposite wall.

Major developments included the Daguerreotype in the 1830s, the calotype and cyanotype processes in the 1840s, roll film and motion pictures in the 1870s-1880s, and the Kodak camera popularizing snapshot photography in 1888. Polaroid and digital cameras were introduced in the mid-20th century, with megapixel cameras becoming common by the 2000s.
Camera Evolution 515
The document traces the evolution of the camera from its origins in the 15th century as the camera obscura using a pinhole, to advancements that added a lens for sharper images. Major developments included the first permanent photograph in the early 19th century, the introduction of film and folding cameras, and the creation of the single lens reflex camera. In the late 19th century, roll film and smaller box cameras helped popularize photography. The 20th century saw advancements like flashbulbs and the first 35mm cameras. Digital cameras later replaced film, increasing in quality and capacity.

Yr 10 photography - Foundation
This document outlines a photography foundation lesson on the camera obscura and its role in the early development of photography. The lesson objectives are for students to gain an understanding of the origins of photography through constructing and using a camera obscura to produce drawings. The document discusses how the camera obscura was developed in the 9th century and was used by early artists to aid their representation of realistic perspective. For homework, students are asked to make a drawing using their camera obscura and bring in objects to create photograms in the next class.
Perspective Drawing
This document provides an overview of perspective drawing and techniques through history. It includes examples of works that demonstrate different types of perspective including one point, two point, and three point perspective. The document traces perspective techniques from ancient Egyptian paintings through the Renaissance and modern works, showing how artists have represented three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.
Camera obscura pinhole
The document describes the evolution of early cameras from the camera obscura to the pinhole camera. It discusses how the camera obscura was the predecessor to the modern camera and provided a means for artists to draw accurate images projected through a pinhole. The document then outlines the basic materials needed to make a simple pinhole camera using a box, foil or lid, needle, and tape and provides examples of the process.
The history of the pinhole camera
The pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens that uses a small aperture to project an inverted image. The Persian scientist Alhazen first wrote about and studied naturally occurring pinhole cameras in the 11th century. He discovered that a smaller pinhole creates a sharper image. In 1827, Joseph Nicephore Niepce created the first photograph using a camera obscura, demonstrating the photographic capabilities of the simple pinhole camera design.

The camera obscura is an optical device that projects an upside-down image of a scene through a small hole onto a surface inside a dark enclosure. It was one of the inventions that led to the development of photography and the camera. The image can be projected onto paper and traced to produce an accurate representation.
A Brief History of Early Photographic Technology
The document provides a brief history of early photographic technology from its inception through the 19th century, including these key developments:
- The camera obscura was invented around 330 BCE but it was not until the 11th century that Alhazen was able to explain why the images were upside down.
- In 1826, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce produced the first permanent photograph by exposing an image onto a chemically coated pewter plate for eight hours.
- Louis Daguerre's daguerreotype process, introduced in 1839, used a camera obscura to expose Paris street scenes for only 10 minutes and produced highly reflective images on silver-plated sheets of copper.
Timeline of photography
Photography has evolved significantly since its invention in the early 19th century. Early methods like the daguerreotype required exposures of up to 8 hours, but advances like the use of film by George Eastman and 35mm cameras made photography faster and more accessible. The development of digital photography in the 1980s transformed the industry, allowing photos to be instantly captured, edited, and shared. While photography was once a complex chemical process, today's digital cameras make it possible to take high-quality photos with a smartphone in seconds.
The Timeline Of Photography
Photography has evolved significantly since its origins in the 15th century. Early concepts like the camera obscura laid the foundations, but the first permanent photograph was not taken until 1820. Major developments included Daguerre's creation of the daguerreotype process in the 1830s, Talbot's invention of the calotype negative in the 1840s, and the introduction of roll film and smaller format cameras in the early 20th century. Over time, photographs transitioned from laborious portraits to instant snapshots as new technologies revolutionized the field.

History of photography
This document provides a history of photography from its origins to modern applications. It discusses early innovators like Niepce, Daguerre, and Talbot who developed the first photographic processes in the 1820s-1840s. The daguerreotype and calotype processes allowed photographs to be taken and reproduced. Advances like the wet plate collodion process in the 1850s led to photographs being widely used to document events like the Civil War. Photography was also used in science, medicine, industry, and to document social issues. Further innovations driven by the development of more portable cameras expanded photography's uses through the late 19th century until it became widely accessible to the public by the late 1880s.
Early Photography
The early history of photography began with artists in the Renaissance seeking to capture realistic representations of nature which led to the development of tools like the camera obscura. In the 18th century, scientists discovered ways to capture shadows using light-sensitive chemicals, laying the foundations for photography. The first permanent photograph was created by Joseph Niépce in 1826, while Louis Daguerre later invented the daguerreotype process in 1839, producing sharp metal plate images. Around the same time, William Henry Fox Talbot invented the calotype process using paper negatives, allowing images to be reproduced. Early photographers focused on portraiture and landscapes but their subjects expanded over time.
Camera arts
The document discusses the history and evolution of photography and camera technology from the camera obscura to modern digital photography. Key developments discussed include the daguerreotype, the creation of negatives, Kodachrome film, and the rise of digital photography.

Reviewfall2010lec1dag
There were three main motivators that drove the investigation and development of photography: financial gain, scientific curiosity, and artistic needs. The camera obscura technique from the 16th century helped lay the groundwork. In the 18th century, it was discovered that silver compounds darkened when exposed to light, not heat, contributing to later photographic developments. Thomas Wedgwood conducted early experiments but was unable to create permanent images. Anna Atkins was one of the first female photographers and used photograms to illustrate her book on British algae. Louis Daguerre's announcement of the daguerreotype process in 1839 launched the first practical commercial photographic process.

This document provides a history of photography from its earliest beginnings to modern developments. It describes how Nicéphore Niépce created the first permanent photograph in 1826 by using "Heliography" to capture an image on light-sensitive paper. The document then discusses the key contributions of Louis Daguerre, who invented the daguerreotype process which produced the first clear photo of a person in 1839. Finally, it outlines several modern photography movements including surrealism, pop art, abstract, minimalism, and urban decay photography.
Origins of photography
Photography developed through the contributions of scientists and artists around the world. Early photographic processes created individual plates or prints, but later processes used paper or albumen to create multiple copies. Key developments included Daguerre's daguerreotype process in 1839, which used iodine and mercury to create positive prints on silver plates, as well as Talbot's calotype process in 1841, which used paper negatives. Over time, emulsions containing light-sensitive silver salts and applied to surfaces like film or glass became the standard.

The History of Photography
A chronological and in depth history of Photography. From its initial beginnings to the digital revolution.
Early Years Of Photography
During the Renaissance, artists sought to accurately represent reality, leading to the development of tools like the camera obscura and camera lucida to aid in achieving realistic perspective. In the early 1800s, scientists worked to permanently capture projected images, with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce creating the first permanent photograph in 1827. Louis Daguerre later invented the daguerreotype, a monochromatic photograph printed on a metal plate, while William Henry Fox Talbot developed the calotype process using negatives that could be reproduced. While the daguerreotype provided higher quality images, the calotype's ability to produce duplicates made it more commercially viable.

History of photography
- 1. History of photography By Loren Glover
- 2. Camera obscura The camera obscura (Latin; camera for "vaulted chamber/room", obscura for "dark", together "darkened chamber/room"; plural: camera obscuras or camerae obscurae) is an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen. It is used in drawing and for entertainment, and was one of the inventions that led to photography and the camera. The device consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside where it is reproduced, upside-down, but with colour and perspective preserved. The image can be projected onto paper, and can then be traced to produce a highly accurate representation.
- 3. First permanent photo This most famous reproduction of the First Photograph was based upon the March 1952 print, produced at Helmut Gernsheim's request by the Research Laboratory of the Eastman Kodak Company in Harrow. The pointillistic effect is due to the reproduction process and is not present in the original heliograph. Gernsheim himself spent eleven hours on March 20, 1952, touching up with watercolors one of the prints of the Kodak reproduction. His attempt was meant to bring the heliograph as close as possible to a positive representation of how he felt Niépce intended the original should appear. It is this version of the image which would become the accepted reproduction of the image for the next fifty years. The view, made from an upper, rear window of the Niépce family home in Burgundy, in the village of Saint-Loup-de-Varennes near Chalon-sur-Saône. Representationally the subject matter includes [from left to right]: the upper loft (or, so-called "pigeon- house") of the family home; a pear tree with a patch of sky showing through an opening in the branches; the slanting roof of the barn, with the long roof and low chimney of the bake house behind it; and, on the right, another wing of the family house. Details in the original image are very faint, due not to fading— the heliographic process is a relatively permanent one—but rather to Niepce's underexposure of the original plate.
- 4. Daguerreotype The daguerreotype /dəˈ ɡɛrətaɪp/ (French: daguerréotype) was the first commercially successful photographic process. The image is a direct positive made in the camera on a silvered copper plate. The raw material for plates was called Sheffield plate, plating by fusion or cold-rolled cladding and was a standard hardware item produced by heating and rolling silver foil in contact with a copper support.[2] The surface of a daguerreotype is like a mirror, with the image made directly on the silvered surface; it is very fragile and can be rubbed off with a finger, and the finished plate has to be angled so as to reflect some dark surface in order to view the image properly. Depending on the angle viewed, and the color of the surface reflected into it, the image can change from a positive to a negative.
- 5. Cyanotype Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that gives a cyan-blue print. The process was popular in engineering circles well into the 20th century. The simple and low-cost process enabled them to produce large-scale copies of their work, referred to as blueprints. Two chemicals are used in the process: • Ammonium iron(III) citrate • Potassium ferricyanide. John hurshal made it
- 6. William Henry Fox Talbot William Henry Fox Talbot (11 February 1800 – 17 September 1877) was a British inventor and photography pioneer who invented the calotype process. He Invented the first reprint able photograph (Negative) he took this picture out of his bedroom window in laycock abby.
