Photography powerpoint containing the required work for unit 1 task 1.

2. *The word ‘photography’ comes from the the
greek word ‘photo’ which means light, and
‘graphien’ which means to draw. In greek it
creates the sentence ‘drawing with light’
*The word is derived from this sentence
translated from Greek.

3. *A pinhole camera is a small camera. It is very
simple and lacks even a lens. It has a small
aperture, and Is basically a light proof box with
a pinhole on the other side of it.
*The light tunnels through the pinhole and
projects a photo the wrong way round on the
opposite side of the box. The lens obsurer was
invented in the 10th century by Alhazen.

4. *The first ever permanent photograph was taken
by Joseph Niepce in 1826. The photo took 8
ours to capture.
*The photo is the view from the top floor
window from his estate in France.

5. *Henry Talbot invented the process of negative
photography. From this photograph multiple copies
were created. This includes lots of different
processes.
*First the paper is sensitized to light with silver salt
solutions.
*He then exposed the paper to light, the subject of the
photo was turned into many shades of grey, and the
background of the photo became black. This was the
negative photo.
*To make it positive, Talbot made multiple contact
prints from this one piece of paper, when reversed the
light and shadows, made the photo positive.

6. *The exposure time of cameras has decreased
over the development of cameras.
*As they have developed, exposure time has
decreased, so photos are much more clear and
have less noise, and are much more pleasing to
the eye.

7. *The first photograph of a human was taken in
1838, called Boulevard Du Temple.
*The photo was taken in Paris

8. * In 1829, modern photography was born, shdn Louis Daguerre
partener with Joseph Niepce. This was because Daguerre
could develop the photographic process that Niepce had
already invented.
* Whem Niepce in 1839, Daguerre was developing a more
effective process which was named after himself.
* The silver was polished, which was were images were
mounted on. They were then coated with iodine, which
created a surface sensitive to light.
* This plate is then placed in the camera and exposed to light
for a few minutes, and it would reflect the image onto the
surface.
* Afterwards,Daguerre placed the plate in silver chloride,
where the I,age would stay permanent for years and would
fade when more light was exposed to it.

9. *Colour photographs were first used in the
1940’s. Dye couple colours were used in the
film rolls, where a chemical process connected
layers of colours all together. This in turn
created a detail colour photograph.

10. *Negative slides allowed users/consumers to
take and store multiple photographs on one
“reel” of negative material, which would then
be chemically processed to produce a positive
photo. Before negatives could only take one
photo as It would be saved onto the light
sensitive material, whereas with negatives you
had multiple takes.

11. *The first point and shoot camera was unveiled
by Kodak in 1963.

13. *The surreal camera movement was an
extravagant one, where photographers
composed photos that are out of the ordinary,
very surrealistic. Scenes are illogical, and
create strange settings and creatures from
ordinary settings.
*Surrealism was developed around World War I,
it started in Paris, and then spread across the
world

15. *The pop art movement started in the 1950’s. It
was a new movement that challenged
traditional art, by including popular pictures
from the modern era, such as newspapers and
magazines.
*Some say it is a reaction of the abstract ideas
of expressionism, and an expansion of the
movement itself.

17. *Abstract photography is like abstract art, in
which it concentrates, on lines, shapes, colour,
form, and texture.
*Often, not all of the picture is in focus. Often
only a small part of it is.
*Abstract photos come in a variation of
patterns, textures, crop, shape, blur, and
expression of movement.

19. *Minimalist photography is a way of thinking in
terms of photography.
*The world minimal means little, as few as
possible. A minimalist photo is one that that
has as few elements as possible.
*The aim is to display as few conventions as
possible to convey meaning

21. *Constructivism was an Russian architectural
photography that came to light in 1919.
*Constructivism had an effect on modern
artistic movements in 20th century, that
influenced trends such as Bauhaus.
*Alexsandr Rodchenko was a former artist and
photographer who had a great influence in
constructivism. He was one of the most
versatile constructivist artist to emerge after
the revolution of Russia.
