The document summarizes the early history of photography from its invention in the 1820s to its emergence as a widespread commercial technology in the late 1800s. It describes Nicéphore Niépce creating the first permanent photograph in 1826 and Louis Daguerre inventing the daguerreotype process in 1839, which produced direct positive images on silver-coated plates and did not require negatives. Daguerre's process became commercially successful and brought portraits to the masses. William Henry Fox Talbot later invented the calotype process, which used negatives to make multiple prints. Further developments including the collodion process and gelatin dry plates made photography more practical and eventually enabled photojournalism in newspapers.
The history of photography began in ancient times with the use of camera obscuras to project images. In the early 19th century, Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Daguerre developed early photographic processes allowing the creation of permanent images. William Henry Fox Talbot's invention of the calotype process in the 1840s allowed for the mass-production of photographs. In 1888, George Eastman introduced the Kodak camera, making photography widely popular. Throughout the 20th century, technological advances such as roll film, 35mm cameras, and digital cameras transformed photography.
Hannah Hoch, John Heartfield, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Man Ray, and David Hockney were experimental photographers who used traditional techniques to create abstract and conceptual works. Hoch created photomontages exploring concepts of beauty, race, and gender. Heartfield used anti-Nazi propaganda. Coburn developed abstract photographs using mirror systems. Man Ray created photograms or "Rayographs" by placing objects on light-sensitive paper. Hockney structured Polaroid photos to form abstract compositions. Their work would be found in galleries and textbooks rather than for commercial uses like advertising.

A2 Photography Exam 2016: Truth, Fantasy and FictionMelanie Powell
Olivia Parker's still life photographs emphasize the complexity of natural forms like shells and feathers. Photographs can document reality objectively, but they may also explore truth, fantasy, or fiction. John Hilliard's work shows how cropping a single photograph in different ways can tell different stories and provide unreliable evidence. Nick Knight uses composite imagery to create surreal visuals that are closer to paintings than photographs, questioning photography's role in telling the truth.
Ellie Huff explores documentary and street photography through her own project focused on urban life in London. She researches photographers like Robert Frank and Joel Meyerowitz who documented life in busy cities like New York. Their work influences her choice of locations in London and techniques. One image she took in Camden resembles Franks' style of personal framing. Future technological advances may decrease printed photos but increase images taken on phones. Huff aims to improve focus and capturing expressions to better link to her influences.
Photography evolved over thousands of years from the discovery of the camera obscura and pinhole cameras in ancient China. The first permanent photograph was taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1826 using a plate coated with bitumen. Louis Daguerre then invented the daguerreotype process in 1839, which produced highly detailed images. William Henry Fox Talbot invented the calotype process, creating the first negative-positive system. These inventions launched the field of photography. In the following decades, photographers documented the American Civil War and West, while Kodak introduced portable cameras and film, making photography widely accessible.
Photography began in the 1820s when Nicéphore Niépce captured the first photograph, though the process took 8 hours. Louis Daguerre later invented the daguerreotype, which sharply reduced the exposure time to around 30 minutes. In the mid-1800s, formats like the calotype and collodion process improved reproducibility and image quality. By the late 1800s, cameras became more portable and accessible to amateurs with the invention of celluloid film and Kodak's Brownie camera, popularizing snapshots. Photography has since transitioned to digital formats, allowing images to be easily captured, edited and shared on devices like phones.
The document provides a history of photography from its origins in the 1820s to modern digital photography. It describes some of the key early innovators and inventions, including Joseph Nicéphore Niépce taking the first photograph in 1826. Formats and techniques evolved over the following decades, with pioneers experimenting with light sensitivity and developing processes. Photography became more accessible to the public in the late 1800s/early 1900s with the development of smaller, more portable cameras using roll film. The document then outlines some influential photographers and movements in photojournalism, documentary photography, and beyond.
Photojournalism involves capturing images to tell journalistic stories. It aims to document events objectively and in a timely manner to inform the public. Photojournalists work in dangerous conditions to document important events and bring awareness to issues around the world. While their work informs the public, it also carries great risks as they must get close to subjects and events to convey meaning and truth. Their images have power to impact viewers and preserve history if done ethically according to journalistic standards.
This document provides instructions and tasks related to exploring themes of secrets, codes, and conventions through artmaking. It begins by asking the reader to bring an object from home that holds personal meaning to work with. It then discusses artists like Piero Manzoni who incorporated real objects into their work. Later tasks involve wrapping objects in fabric and materials to alter and obscure them, relating to ideas of wrapping and concealing. The reader is encouraged to photograph and document and their wrapped sculpture in various locations. The overall document guides an exploration of themes through a series of experimental artmaking exercises.

The document discusses the early history and development of photography from its origins in the 1820s to modern uses. It notes that:
1) The first photograph was taken by Nicéphore Niépce in 1825 using a silver and chalk mixture, but the image quickly faded since it was not a permanent process.
2) Over subsequent decades, other scientists improved on this early work to develop more permanent photographic processes.
3) Photography is now commonly used to record historical events and provide evidence, such as documenting family occasions starting in 1850, propaganda during World Wars, and modern events like the Olympics.
PhotoRealism is a style of painting using photographs to create hyperrealistic images. Artists precisely replicate the details of a photograph using tools like cameras, projectors, and airbrushes. Popular in the 1960s-70s, PhotoRealist works depicted mundane urban environments and focused on technique over expression. Pioneering artists included Richard Estes, Ralph Goings, Chuck Close, and Duane Hanson, who created photo-realistic sculptures. While initially controversial, PhotoRealism influenced later hyperrealistic styles and can still be seen in video games and movies today.
The document provides information on several early 20th century photographers and their contributions to the development of photography as an art form, including Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Gertrude Kasebier, Clarence White, and others. It discusses the founding of the Photo-Secession and 291 galleries by Stieglitz and Steichen to promote photography. It also provides biographical details and examples of works by these pioneering photographers.
Photograms are early photographic images created without a camera by placing objects directly onto light-sensitive material and exposing it to light. Henry Fox Talbot, who coined the term "photogenic drawings", was an early pioneer of the technique in the 1830s. In the 20th century, artist Man Ray experimented extensively with photograms, which he called "rayographs", using unconventional exposures and object placements to create surreal images. His rayographs were not fully appreciated during his life but are now considered masterworks of the photogram technique.

I am NOT a photographer.
I am a Professor of Communication and visual communication or images forms a sub-text of my study.
Like Mr. Bean who said : I sit in the corner and look at paintings.
I look at photographs. What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment. You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
Photography began in 1827 when a French officer took the first photograph, though the exposure took eight hours; in 1839, Louis Daguerre invented a process allowing photographs to be reproduced on metal plates in just 30 minutes, revolutionizing the new language of photography which could capture and share moments in time. The document then discusses the history and evolution of photography from its early beginnings to modern digital photography, highlighting key inventors and technological advances that have increased the accessibility and applications of the medium over time.
Keld Helmer-Petersen was a Danish photographer known for his abstract, high contrast black and white images from the 1960s. As a teenager, he was inspired by movements like De Stijl and the Bauhaus. He spent a year studying at the Chicago Bauhaus School in the 1960s, where he was inspired by the industrial landscape to create silhouettes. Throughout his career, he experimented with cameraless techniques and moving the camera during long exposures. In the late 1940s, he was an early pioneer of creative color photography, publishing a book of his color images in Copenhagen decades before color photography became an accepted art form.
The document traces the history of landscape photography from its origins in the 18th century to modern times. Early landscape photographers aimed to capture nature in the romantic style inspired by painters. As technology advanced, photographers were able to capture cityscapes and people moving. In the 20th century, photographers experimented with different styles like pictorialism and modernism to define photography as an art form. Contemporary landscape photography takes many forms focused on recording or constructing environments.
Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer considered the father of modern photojournalism. He helped develop street photography using a 35mm camera. He co-founded the Magnum Photo agency in 1947 and published "The Decisive Moment" in 1952, influencing generations of photographers. Cartier-Bresson was known for capturing the decisive moment in his photos through perfect timing and composition.
Early landscape photography in the 18th century was influenced by Romantic paintings and focused on capturing natural beauty. Pioneering photographers like Samuel Bemis and Alexandre Clausel took daguerreotypes of countryside scenes. As technology advanced, photographers were able to document varied landscapes across America and cities around the world. In the 20th century, photographers increasingly experimented with unconventional perspectives and techniques like photomontage to define photography as an art form. Contemporary landscape photography comes in many forms but primarily documents the environment.
Photorealism is an art movement that originated in the United States in the 1960s involving the realistic replication of photographic images in paintings and sculptures. Artists such as Don Eddy, Chuck Close, Richard Estes, and Duane Hanson used photographs and careful technical skills to create hyperrealistic works. While initially criticized for its embrace of photography, photorealism challenged artistic conventions. It has had lasting influence and continues to fascinate viewers with its photo-like illusions.
Photorealism is an art movement that originated in the 1960s in the United States involving the realistic replication of photographic images in paintings and sculptures. Artists would use photographs as references to capture precise realistic details in their works. Some notable photorealist artists mentioned are Chuck Close, Richard Estes, and Duane Hanson. While initially criticized for its straightforward representation, photorealism challenged artistic conventions and focused on depicting American consumerism and popular culture. It has had lasting influence with contemporary photorealist artists continuing to push the boundaries of realism using modern digital tools.
Pictorialism was one of the earliest and most influential photography movements that began in the 1880s and aimed to establish photography as a legitimate art form. Pictorialist photographers sought to distinguish their images from mere documentation by using dramatic compositions and subjects that conveyed a sense of fantasy or visual cohesion. They also manipulated the chemical development process similarly to how painters used their materials, applying techniques like brush strokes, soft focus, and dramatic lighting to achieve a painterly quality. This movement influenced the development of styles like impressionism and produced famous photographers including Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen, helping to gain acceptance of photography as a serious artistic medium.
The document summarizes the history and evolution of photography from the early experiments in the 18th century to the development of digital photography in the late 20th century. It describes some of the key events and innovations including Joseph Nicéphore Niépce creating the first permanent photograph in 1826, the invention of the daguerreotype process by Louis Daguerre in 1837, the development of the calotype process by Henry Fox Talbot in 1841 allowing for multiple prints, the introduction of roll film photography by George Eastman in the late 1880s, and the transition to electronic cameras in the 1970s-1980s.
The document provides a history of photography from its origins in the 17th century to present day digital photography.

Landscape photography first began in the 1820s but faced backlash from painters who saw it as a threat. Early photography required long exposures and complex chemical processes. Throughout the 1800s, equipment and techniques improved, reducing exposure times and allowing mass production. After World War 2, companies like Nikon and Canon thrived, having gained experience producing optical equipment for the military. Today, the photography industry is a multi-billion dollar business, with landscape photographers able to connect with audiences through YouTube and sell photos online or in calendars and classes.
The document provides a brief history of photography from the 19th century to present day. It notes that in the 19th century, photographs were truly capturing real life moments without editing, but now in the 21st century, photography has many more editing options that can distort the truth. Photography has changed from reliably capturing reality to sometimes manipulating perceptions.
Steichen's work evolved from pictorialism to modernism. Pictorialism focused on beauty, tonality and composition over documenting reality. It was influenced by Impressionism. Modernism used sharp focus and represented reality accurately without manipulation. Alfred Stieglitz rejected pictorialism in favor of modernism. He championed photographers like Paul Strand who used realism to create beauty from everyday life and make statements about photography's nature rather than the world. Steichen combined pictorialism and modernism in works like "The Flatiron" which overlaid nature and man-made elements. Strand and Weston exemplified modernism through man-made/geometric and organic/nature subjects respectively with sharp focus.
Photorealism is a style of painting that depicts realistic imagery so precisely that it appears photographic. It originated in the late 1960s as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism. Photorealistic paintings are often very large, photo-accurate depictions of common objects, landscapes, and portraits created using techniques like projecting photographs onto canvases. Some criticize photorealism as merely copying photographs rather than creating art, while supporters argue it captures moments frozen in time. Early influential American photorealists included Richard Estes, Chuck Close, and Don Eddy, who painted cityscapes, portraits, and everyday objects respectively.
This document provides an overview for teaching a lesson on 19th century photography. It discusses key early photographers like Daguerre, Niepce and Talbot and the development of photographic processes from daguerreotypes to calotypes. It also covers how photography was used in various contexts like portraiture, documentation of history and travel, and how it influenced art movements like realism. The document provides suggestions for course content, readings, videos and images to examine different applications and impacts of early photography.
The document provides background information on the history and development of photography in Britain. It notes that photography was derived from Greek words meaning "light" and "to draw." Joseph Nicephore Niepce made the first photograph in 1827 with an 8 hour exposure. The document then discusses the tradition of documentary, art, and studio photography in Britain, including work focusing on the working classes. It notes photography struggled for acceptance as an art form in Britain until around 1990. Specific influential British photographers mentioned include Nick Knight, Corinne Day, and Tim Walker.
Henri Cartier-Bresson was a renowned French photographer and filmmaker born in 1908. He is considered a master of candid street photography and helped establish the genre of photojournalism. Cartier-Bresson was known for his ability to capture the decisive moment using his Leica camera. Some of his most famous photos were taken in cities around the world in the 1940s-1970s, documenting people and events in a documentary style. He helped found the photo agency Magnum Photos and had a significant influence on the art of photography.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

The clip itself is strangely compelling. Set to hypnotizing black-and-white patterns, a calm
voiceover says B&W is purer than color. The hyperrealism of color, it points out, isn’t just overly
crass, it’s unnecessary. Color is an aid for people without imagination: “In the color world,
there’s no space for dreams.”
Of course, this is wrong. If anything it’s the other way around: color is actual, we don’t see in
monochrome. Insisting on black and white is often a pretentious turn. Leica’s ad rehashes one
of the oldest debates in the history of photography: Which is better, black and white or color?
The two do different things, the debate is fruitless. However, it helps to know about this
“controversy” in order to understand how we and photography got here.
Act I: Color is Bulls**t
Let’s recall that photography only became an art form relatively recently. When it came about at
the end of the 19th century, observers had considered it
. Leica’s ad used the same line of
argument—that something too realistic couldn’t possibly be artistic.
At first, photography competed with fine art: It required long exposure times and used heavy,
static equipment. The most popular subjects were landscapes and portraits—both hallmarks of
painting.
Portable equipment or rolls of film (a blessing compared to the unwieldy cameras or glass
plates used before) only became available around the First World War. It allowed
photographers to take pictures in previously unimaginable settings—and to differentiate the
photographic medium from painting.
Pioneers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and did it by deploying the realism in
unexpected ways. With their “decisive moments” and unexpected subjects, they froze the
unseen, demonstrating that photography was about beautiful compositions and subjects far
different from painting. The snapshot aesthetic emerged. Street photography was born.
“too literal to compete with works of
art” because it was unable to “elevate the imagination”
Helen Levitt

https://petapixel.com/2018/05/18/why-photographys-bw-vs-color-debate-is-no-debate-at-all/ 4/27
Helen Levitt was one of the first photographers to capture street scenes.
These now legendary photographers learned their craft in a black-and-white world. Which is to
say that whenever they took a picture, they knew it to be in black and white. The abstraction
was a natural quality of the picture—just like the two-dimensionality of the shot.
Color photography only became practical in the mid-1950s after film manufacturers had
invented processes that made color pictures sufficiently easy to develop. It was another
technological shift to change the medium, just as the portable camera and film before. And
perhaps inevitably, photographers now assumed the role that the defenders of painting had
before them: They refused to embrace the new technology.
Rather than enjoy their sudden ability to depict the world more realistically, artistic
photographers shunned color. In their minds, serious, documentary and fine art photography
had to be shot in black-and-white. Photography legend Henri Cartier-Bresson, known for his
evocative monochrome shots, even quipped that “color is bulls**t.”
Act II: Seeing in Monochrome
Why would Cartier-Bresson dismiss color so forthrightly? Most likely because black and white
works so differently than color does.
Subjects that look great in black and white often don’t look good in color. It’s for the same
reason that vivid color pictures look boring once desaturated. Images in the photo-historical

cannon were made for one palette or another. One sees and shoots in the same color or B&W
of your camera film or sensors.
Tina Modotti’s portraits relied on the stark contrast of black-and-
white photography.
For the pioneers of photography, it had meant learning to shoot subjects that worked well in
black and white—just look at the high contrast shots of the Modernist like Edward Weston and
Tina Modotti, the abstract portraits of Man Ray. They didn’t just shoot in but also for black and
white, emphasizing form, contrast, and shapes.
“Color negates all of photography’s three-dimensional values”, Cartier-Bresson would later
claim. Black-and-white wasn’t limiting to him—photographers of the time knew how to use it.

A landscape by Henri Cartier-Bresson
These photographers’ ways of taking pictures also explain their stance when color arrived on
the scene. Color forced them to look differently. After experimenting in polychrome, Cartier-
Bresson was reportedly — and now he continues
to be known for his monochrome work only.
In , John Berger wrote that “paintings, before the invention of
photography, are the only visual evidence we have of how people saw the world.” I would
argue that black-and-white photos, before the invention of color photography, also give us a
clue how photographers saw the world: In beautiful shades of grey.
Just as black-and-white now looks reduced to our eyes, color must have seemed gaudy to the
photographers of the 1950s: It looked like embellishment. When advertisement photographers
embraced color, the artists’ disdain only grew. In 1959, Walter Evans dismissed, “There are four
simple words for the matter, which must be whispered: Color photography is vulgar.”
Today, that stance seems absurd. Color photography has long been the standard way of
picturing the world. What happened was yet another paradigm shift—and a small rebellion.
Act III: The World is in Color
While artistic photographers turned their noses at it, color film quietly conquered the global
mainstream. In the post-war years, photography turned from something only professionals did
to an amateurs’ hobby. The invention of (usable) color film—Kodak introduced Kodachrome in
1936 and Ektachrome in the 1940s—led to a gradual, popular adoption of color photography.

https://petapixel.com/2018/05/18/why-photographys-bw-vs-color-debate-is-no-debate-at-all/ 7/27
And why wouldn’t it? Why would amateurs, unperturbed by the dogma of black-and-white, use
black-and-white if they could capture life in all of its brilliant colors?
In the black-and-white years, being a photographer had meant developing your own film,
cropping pictures, and making prints. Processing color photographs, in contrast, was too
complicated for many professional photographers—but lent itself perfectly to amateurs, who
simply had their photos developed in a lab.
Most of all, it must just have seemed more realistic. Black and white “
”, but hobbyists just wanted to shoot realistic family photos.
William Eggleston once summarized what must have been on the mind of many people at the
time—and what we have come to accept:
“The world is in color. And there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Along with Saul Leiter, Steven Shore, Joel Meyerowitz and others, Eggleston is widely credited
with pioneering color in the artistic realm. In the 1970s, they made the switch from black and
white to color—despite fierce opposition.
“Photographers looked down on color or felt it was superficial or shallow,” said Leiter.
Meanwhile, photography legend Paul Strand told Shore that shooting in color was a “disastrous
career move”.
Saul Leiter used color as layers in his street photography.

They wanted to rebel. To break out of the monochrome world that had been prescribed by
earlier generations. Joel Meyerowitz’ recent retrospective at C/O Berlin included plenty of
quotes demonstrating that the photographer perceived color as a way to break with
convention:
William Eggleston, who once proclaimed to be “at war with the obvious” followed a similar line
of thinking: He was able to take “perfect fake Cartier-Bressons” but wanted to do something
different, to challenge the status quo. “When I switched from black and white to color, the only
thing that changed was the film,” he said.
William Eggleston doubled down on color.
That isn’t quite true: The switch from black and white, as championed by these photographers,
went hand-in-hand with a change in subject matter. They started shooting subjects that weren’t
beholden to the logic of black and white—less geometric, high-contrast settings, but much
rather everyday occurrences where the colors stood out. Eggleston shot shopping malls, Leiter
the smudged colors of a rainy city, Shore the vivid mundane.
What I saw was that the color image had more information in it, simple as that! There
was so much more to see and consider, whereas black and white reduced the world to
shades of gray. And while that reduction had provided us with more than a hundred
years of remarkable images, we were entering a new era at the time, and color, for me
anyway, seemed to offer a challenge to the conventions that always undermine any
medium.

Steven Shore shot the vivid mundane.
In the excellent book , art curator Agnes
Sire writes:
It’s no coincidence that artists like Eggleston and Shore managed to picture banal subjects in
an interesting way, and it was their use of color that helped them accomplish it. The transition
from black and white to color was as much a transition from supposedly salient subjects—like
the photojournalism championed by Magnum—to the more poetic everyday object.
At first, nobody wanted to see this kind of work. Now, the early exhibits of these photographers
are legendary. It took a while for the artistic world to open its eyes to a new kind of subject—
and to color photography. While black and white had turned the mundane artistic, the
pioneering color photos were successful exactly because they were mundane: They alerted
the general public to the hidden beauty in everyday life.

William Eggleston’s famous tricycle picture, an example of everyday
photography.
Epilogue: An Unresolved Question
Color is no longer controversial. It is simply the standard. Today black-and-white is mostly used
by photographers who enjoy the classic look, or in fashion shoots emulating the modernist
style, or by marketers who want to convey a vague notion of class and sophistication.
That doesn’t mean the controversy has been fully resolved, nor can it be. It’s not about being
right or wrong, being realistic or snobbish, forward-looking or old-fashioned. The controversy is
fundamentally about how you think the human imagination works–or how it should work.
“Color is not a question, but rather an answer”, Joel Meyerowitz has said. For a photographer, it
is a decision among many others, all part of their way of seeing and interpreting the world.
So let’s close with something the photographer Alec Soth said in an interview with Aperture a
few years ago, looking back at a black-and-white world:
Sometimes you think, eighty years ago the world must have been black and white. But
of course, it didn’t actually look like those photographs. The way that it was
photographed shaped that reality just as much then as now.

Do not aggravate your lack of knowledge with pompous and inaccurate articles like these. You
were wrong before, and now you are even worse. Given any existing sensor tech or film
emulsion, B&W film or sensor without the CFA, when compared to their colour versions, will
deliver SUPERIOR and VISIBLE micro-contrast in an image, every single time. The difference is
striking.

B&W was not a choice at any time. It was a compromise. Even with the very first photographs, they
tried to color them, to give them vividness and life. B&W as we know today as artistic is the result of
developing new techniques in a constrianed medium. Mastering those techniques are sometimes
confused for art. Color removed some of those constraints. Suddenly decades of aesthetic values built
on those constraints became unjustifiable. Yet it is the advances in color processing that revived
monochromatics in the digital age.

I suppose all the artists who use pencil or charcoal or pen and black ink are not aware of the
beautiful new invention of colored pastels, oil paints and other revolutionary means of coloring
their work.

Maybe you missed Trey Ardy's point.
Artists--who have had color available to them for millennia--continue to return to
monochrome for artistic reasons.
When artists choose to create in monochrome rather than color, it's because they
are specifically visualizing the image in monochrome for the specific strengths of
monochrome: The reduction of nonessential elements of their specific vision to
emphasize tone and form.
That's something a lot of photographers miss in this argument. I see it every time
in photo groups on Facebook when someone asks, "Which is better, the BW or
the color?"
That's a decision that artistically should have been made when the image was
conceived in the mind...afterward, if one is better than the other it's merely a
matter of happenstance, because there is a difference.

Exactly. The question is not which is better - chinese ink drawing or
impressionistic oil. The question is for whom and for which image.

Both are valid artistic choices, It is a moot argument on which is better. That being said, if
you study the old masters, they were cranking out far superior and more interesting
images IMO.

Shoot in colour, get channel to channel control for a black and white conversion. Shoot black and white
with an overpriced Leica and get whatever the camera decides to capture. Colour>black and white in
the information capture process. The rest is a matter of taste.

Not so simple, a B/W monochromatic sensor is way better in low light and produces much
sharper images because it doens't have a Bayer filter.

This is really missing the point. The way that you choose to frame and shoot subjects is likely to
be completely different between B&W and colour shooting.
In the early days of photography, B&W was the only option, so people got good at composing
images that worked well in B&W. Today, you have the choice. You can shoot in colour, convert to
B&W or shoot B&W directly on film or with a monochrome digital camera

But whatever you use to take the picture, what matters is understanding what your final intent is
before you press the shutter.

"But whatever you use to take the picture, what matters is understanding what your final
intent is before you press the shutter." This understanding is a matter of experience.
Some folk displace this with presets, emulations or, in this case, a certain kind of sensor.
These have nearly become "style" presets presenting their own constraints.

I find the repeated resistance to transitions interesting. Older things are backed by an elitism, a sneer,
and a claim to Fine Art. The new makes more immediate capture of day-to-day experience for the
rabble? Doesn't take long to see through that argument.

if you are that easily swayed, would you walk into Saul Leiter's gallery thinking B&W is superior

I didn't flip them. I (subjectively) put them on par and yes I've seen / been to to a lot of
excellent shows galleries museums that are primarily or exclusively color. That said, I try
very hard to judge the print as a separate entity from the image I might see on a monitor.
It's simply not the same experience.

Gallery, Oriental or Seagull all of them rendered some kind of diferent looks more warm like Gallery or
more cold like Seagul; besides we did heat treatment to dry them or simply time rendered different
qualities. Moreover it was common practice dying or turning colors by means of chemical processes .
No-color is a digital concept; these images are quiete harsh, whenever we print them they get color
again. Color black, of course, from our favorite brand of printer ink.

Not quite so simple on color, because we aren't there yet. The Bayer Matrix is a horrible little beast,
leading to a whole variety of imaging problems, not the least of which is color fidelity. Perhaps in future
years, we will be shooting with tri-sensor cameras, real dichroic separation filters, and either enough
sensor resolution or an OLPF to prevent aliasing. We are not there yet.
I pioneered digital monochrome photography back in 2002 with the nearly one of a kind Kodak DCS
760m. I was a technical consultant and beta tester for the original Leica Monochrom. What do I shoot
today? B&W film. Why? Because it remains magical, powerful, strong.

You should try a camera like the Pentax k1ii which can shoot by exposing each sensor to red
green and blue by shifting the sensor. This overcomes the Bayer limitations

Please name an "arbitrary rule." I sense you have produced a straw man.
Debates about photography typically lapse into mere opinion. Words have nothing to do with a
photograph because it speaks in a visual voice.
Further, from what I observe, most people take snapshots. Relatively few people practice
photography with skill. Even fewer people produce worthy photographs.
This spread in quality arises from the function of photography as a craft that may rise to art in the
right hands.

Arbitrary rule: Shoot no slower than the inverse of the (35mm equiv) lens length on a
non-stabilised lens. Absolute rubbish if you have decent technique.
Photography is full of arbitrary rules, which more correctly be considered as advice or
guides.

Doing the craft of photography with skill involves knowing and applying principles,
concepts, rules, techniques, guides, recommendations, practices, and suchlike
elements of the craft.
As to your example, yes, it has more to do with the practice of hand-holding the
camera and lens steady enough at a slow shutter speed to avoid motion blur in
the image. I'd label it more as a practice, with the proviso that it requires careful
attention to the use of it.
We do need to describe the elements of the craft with clarity.

Jon Kellett, that's not a universal physical law, but it's not arbitrary. It's a general
thumbrule that proved very useful for people who shot handheld in the 36x24mm
format and enlarged their images to no more than 10x or so prints. There is some
very specific physics behind it, when the controlling factors that were common at
the time are understood. It's no more arbitrary than the "sunny /f16" rule.
In today's parlance, it's better to call such things "hacks" rather than rules
(because the word "rule" seems to trigger some people). It's a practice someone
discovered to work for him consistently, then other people discovered that it also
worked for them consistently. No hack works for everyone all the time, but when it
works, it works, so it's useful to know.

Photography started in Black and White, and pretty much remained in
black and white for more than a century: the classic look of a serious
art. As correctly stated around the mid-seventies , color started to appear on film,
sometimes by choice sometimes by experimentation, signaling a new era
for the media. It added a new layer of information to that masculine 20th
century feel that people so much had gotten used to. Certainly such
change was bound to create controversy that was not in favor of color in
its early beginning. But that photo of William Eggleston's Tricycle,
with its rusted, red handlebars, its wonderful blue toned seat, and the
chromatic play of the white rims existed by itself, for itself, through
itself. It stands exalted. Color is not an afterthought here. Forty
years later and although tricycles still have 3 wheels, the spectrum of
light has Photoshop. It is the digital darkroom, the place where color
can be more than what it is in reality. Controversial but required in
this digital age, sublime yet vulgar sometimes, image processing for
photography has undoubtedly created a new art media beyond the choice of color or B/W, and that’s a
good
thing right?

Yep, I was a BW snob in the 1970's. I would look down on the color photogs…I was a purest. As I look
back on it I can see it was all ego driven nonsense.
Sometimes the image will work either way. If so, do what you like. Other times it needs to be in color or
BW only. Let the image decide and do what is best for the image…not your ego.
This example could have worked in BW or color. But when it goes BW you lose the bluish light on the
upper left. The blue light signifies the prostitute may be a transwoman. So, that information is lost in the
BW version.

Scrimped and saved for my first good camera -- a Miranda SLR -- while in high school in 1963. I still
have it. Developed B&W back then, and added Cibachrome at home when it became available. Loved
Kodachrome 25 and 64.
The article misses a key point. Color was VERY expensive for use in journalism, and often impractical

under deadline. So the standard for mass photography was B&W even into the 1990s.
Even in the 1970s, color separations cost hundreds of dollars each (equivalent to thousands today). We
could gang multiple transparencies to do one separation set, which we would then cut apart, but that
trick didn't work with critical stuff like human flesh tones. Color would be available on only 4 or 8 pages
in each issue, on magazines I worked for.
People Magazine started out B&W, long after color was technically possible, because B&W was easier
to edit (airbrushing!) and shoot on deadline. The only color I shot for Sky & Telescope Magazine in my
time there (1966-69 while I was in college) was for cover art. For inside pages, if I happened to capture
a picture on transparency film, it was converted to B&W.
Not until the 1980s did color get cheap enough for semi-routine use in most magazines. The Web,
which went graphical in 1993, made color trivially easy.

editorsteve That was similarly true in professional portrait photography. An essential part of the
"professional" custom portrait photography was retouching. Ma and Pa storefront studios
retouched their black and white negatives with soft pencil and sharp knife. I learned it myself
back in the day, even in the latter 1960s. If you wanted color, you then oil-toned the black and
white print.
