The Leica 35mm camera from 1925 allowed photojournalists to carry smaller, more portable cameras to capture photos. It used 35mm film and helped evolve photojournalism by enabling photographers to easily take photos without others noticing. The Nikon D1 from 1999 was one of the first affordable digital SLR cameras, allowing photojournalists to take high-quality photos without hassling with film and developing. The iPhone from 2014 made everyone a photojournalist by giving most people a phone with a good camera to easily take, edit, and share photos online without waiting to distribute information.

This is a portrait of Louis Daguerre. They used his process to create this image.

5. The Daguerreotype
The Daguerreotype process was created by Louis Daguerre in 1839. This process was used for
more than twenty years. This process was done by “treating a silver-coated copper plate with
light-sensitive chemicals, exposing it in a camera, and developing it with a mercury vapor”.
Photojournalists were able to take stunning photos. They used this process to take portraits. This
process required lots of diligence and precision. The images were created on a silver plated
cooper plate. This process was very long and hard for photojournalists. It was however a huge
step for photojournalists because it really was a good way for photo journalists to take photos. This
process while complicated, worked and really started photojournalism. Without this process we
may not have the great technology that we have today in the photojournalism world. It was very
easy for photographs to get corrupted when using this process so photojournalists had to take
extra care when carrying out this process.

8. Calotype
The Calotype or Talbotype is an early technology created in 1840 by William Henry Fox
Talbot. This process used gallic acid to “develop the image on the paper”. This process helped
to limit the cameras exposure time from one hour to one minute. Talbot coined the term
negative. The negative, “could yield any number of positive images by simple contact printing
upon another piece of sensitized paper”. “A negative was exposed in the camera, developed
in a dark room and then printed on sensitive paper”.This was a huge breakthrough in
technology for photojournalists. This made it easier and less time consuming for
photojournalists to see there photos. This made it easier to develop photos and it helped to
limit the number of corrupted photos. This was a huge development in its time.

This is a photo of President Millard Filmore. This photo was taken using the wet collodion process

11. Wet Collodion Process
The Collodion process helped to revolutionize photography. This process was created by
Frederick Scott Archer. When this process came out it dominated the market. Lot of
photojournalists switched to this method because the photographs came out so clear. This process
was tricky for photojournalists. This was because the photojournalist “had to sensitize the plate
almost immediately before exposure and expose it and process it while the coating was moist”.
This was hard for photojournalists because they had to have a portable darkroom to develop the
images. The images had to be developed within around fifteen minutes. It was popular for more
that 30 years and it even increased the number of people interested in photography. At the time
this was a great way to take photographs even though it was complicated it worked.

This photo is of a horse galloping. This photo was taken by Edweard Muybridge. This is amazing that he was able to capture the
motion of the horse.

14. Eadweard Muybridge Process
(and Zoopraxiscope)
“Eadweard Muybridge's photography of moving animals captured movement in a way that had
never been done before”. Muybridge used multiple cameras to capture things in motion. It would
freeze things in motion and produce an image. This was even before there was flexible film strips.
This was huge for photojournalists because for the first time they could take photos of things
moving. They could do this without worrying about the photo being too blurry. It made it easier to
be a photojournalist because you they could photograph more things. Obviously this technology
had glitches and limitations but in its time it was a great tool for photojournalists. This was a major
advancement in technology.

This photo is one of the first snapshots taken with the Kodak No.1 camera. This helped to shape photojournalism as we know it today.

17. The Kodak No.1 Box
Camera
The Kodak box camera brought photography to lots of people. George Eastman was behind the
creation of this camera The creation of the Kodak box camera made it possible for there to
amateur photographers. Before this camera it was very hard to be an amateur photographer
because the cameras were so big and it was complicated to use them. This was great for
photojournalist because they were able to have something smaller and more portable to
photograph things with. This camera used flexible roll film which helped to decrease the weight
of the camera. The camera came with film already in it. “The customer could bring the camera
back to Kodak for processing and to be reloaded with film for the customer”. Photojournalists
were always able to have a camera with them. This helped them to be able to photograph things
easily and not have to set up equipment. "You press the button - we do the rest." That was the
tagline Kodak used when they put out the camera. “This was the birth of snapshot photography, as
millions of amateur picture-takers know it today”.

This photo is one that was printed using rotogravure. It was printed in the National Geographic.

20. Rotogravure
The rotogravure process helped to revolutionize he printing process. It made it
a lot easier to print things. This was great for printing large quantities but was
very costly. It only made sense to print in large quantities when using this
process to save money. This become very popular and was used by lots of
large publications. It uses an engraved cylinder to produce lots of copies.
Some places still use a similar technology. This was great for photojournalists
because there photos were being published more and more. This is because
the process was easier than it had ever been. This technology was huge in the
printing of photographs.

is a photo of the Leica 35mm camera. I thought it was important to show what the camera looks like to truly understand the impact that it had on photojourn

23. Leica 35mm Camera
The Leica 35mm camera is very interesting. Theses cameras were made in Germany and
came out in 1925. These cameras used small roles of 35mm film. With one roll of the 35mm
film you could take 34-36 pictures per roll. “The Leica 35mm was really the first successful
commercial 35 mm camera.” Oskar Barnack actually was the one who created the 35 mm
photography and really helped changed photography. With this camera you had to "load film
cassettes" into the camera yourself manually. Also when looking through the viewfinder it
could not necessarily be what you where taking a photo of. This is because the viewfinder
was not connected to the actual lens so framing the photo was very important. The Leica
35mm camera really affected photojournalism and photojournalists. One way is that it made
the photojournalists job a little easier. This is because the camera was small and easy to
carry. Instead of always having to carry around a large bulky camera photojournalists had
the option to carry a much smaller camera. It affected photojournalism because this small
camera was able to take a nice clear photo which helped to evolve photojournalism. Also
since the camera was small and easy to hide it made it easier to get photos of things without
people really noticing.

26. Fujix DS-1P
The Fujix DS-1P is one of the first real digital cameras available to the public. It was not
really around for long and was only released in Japan. There is not a ton of information about
this camera. The camera was a joint effort between Toshiba and Fuji. The camera had a
Toshiba memory card that could hold 10 pictures. This camera sparked the creation of digital
cameras. Digital cameras made it a lot easier for people to take photos. This was especially
the case for photojournalists. With the creation of digital cameras photojournalists could
take photos easier without having to hassle with film and developing film. Digital cameras
made it easier for photojournalists when they were in field because they would not have to
worry about film and running out of film. Since digital cameras used memory cards the
photojournalist could quickly switch out the memory card and not have to go through the long
process of putting new film in the camera. This also helped limit the number of corrupted
photos especially when the photographs were being transported to editors. Digital cameras
made it possible to easily put photos on the computer and internet , which helped
photojournalists show there work to many people.

The Nikon D1 really changed the game. This camera is an important step in history. It is one of the
first digital SLR camera. This camera was also more affordable than its competition. This camera
made it possible for photojournalists to be able to take good quality photos for an affordable price.
This was one of a few cameras that really set up how professional cameras look and work in
todays world. This technology at the time was very advanced and helped photojournalists
immensely in getting good photographs.

32. Iphone 6
The iPhone alining with many other cell phones have made everyone a photojournalist in there
own way. I say this because most people have a phone with a pretty good camera on it. It is very
easy to take a photo and put it online. Social media is huge and it is very simple to take a picture
and then post it to social media. There is no waiting to get information because the majority of
people have the ability to share there photos with large groups of people. Photojournalists don't
really have to worry about being caught without a camera because most people have a phone that
can take clear photos. The iPhone 6 can take very clear photos and you can even edit the photo
on the phone and then post it or send it to friends. The iPhone 6 also has a service that allows you
to print photos from your phone on your wireless printer.
