A Brief History of Photography and Pioneers

  • Joseph Nicéphore Niépce:

    • First permanent photograph ("View from the Window at Le Gras") in 1826 in France.

  • Impact:

    • Cameras existed for centuries but could not take photos initially.

  • Solution:

    • Coated a metal plate with asphalt, which hardened upon exposure to light.
    • Washed the solidified product with lavender oil to adhere it to plate permanently.

  • Quote: "The discovery I’ve made, which I call Heliography, consists in replicating the images acquired in the camera obscura spontaneously, by the action of light, with gradations of colors from black to white."

  • Louis Daguerre:

    • Invention: The Daguerreotype (first commercial photographic material)
    • Where: France, 1839
    • Impact: Images fixed directly to a heavily polished sheet of silver-plated copper.

  • Impact (continued):

    • Made photography a realistic reality, although expensive.
    • Daguerreotypes are remarkably sharp.

  • Quote: "I have seized the light. I have arrested its flight."

  • Alfred Stieglitz:

    • Genre: Portraiture and Documentary
    • Where: The United States, the late 1800s through mid-1900s

    • Impact: A pioneering and well-known photographer; significant contributions to preservation movements.
      • Primarily photographed landscapes and natural situations.
    • Quote: “There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.”

The Digital Era of Photography

  • Evolving Technology:

    • Photography was a demanding art form until recently, involving diverse camera types and settings.
      • Digital cameras eliminated the complexity of previous methods.
      • The digital era involved storing images digitally through memory cards.
      • Images can be manipulated, processed, and published easily and quickly.

  • Early Digital Approaches:

    • Early attempts to construct digital cameras during 1970s & 1980s. These cameras were bulky and slow; recordings were often on cassettes.
      • The first digital image recorded on tape used a .01 megapixel copy; it involved unique screens and recording took 23 seconds

  • Later Advances:

    • Digital cameras became more affordable and accessible after the 1990s.
    • Key advancement that enabled digital recording was the development of the Charge-Coupled Device (CCD). 

Rule of Thirds Composition

  • Basic Concept: - A compositional guideline for visual images.
    • Used for painting, sketches, pictures etc.
  • Methodology-visualization:
    • Mentally divide the image into nine equal parts by two evenly spaced horizontal and two evenly spaced vertical lines
    • Place primary subjects along those lines for improved composition.
  • Benefits:
    • Creates better visual impact and leads the viewer's eye naturally.
  • Flexibility: - Not required for every image. However it offers numerous benefits

Types of Photography

  • Aerial Photography: Taking photos of the ground from an elevated position using tools like planes, helicopters, drones, and others.
  • Astrophotography: Images of space, from planets to stars and other space objects.
  • Commercial Photography: Marketing materials for cafes, restaurants, brochures, magazines, advertising, and product placement. (includes: Advertising; Architecture & Interior; Automotive; Food; Jewelry)
