Invention photo

If you think that the photo was created by one
man, you are deeply mistaken
And if you think about the year the photo was taken
– this is 1839, probably this is also not entirely true
Let's figure out how it all began
Invention photo

Invention of photography

The history of photography dates back more than 1000
years since its first invention
And it starts with the history of optical photography
Origins - effects of exposure
light and sunlight on objects and change
colors and projections due to their effects
Invention of photography

Optics. Appearance of an inverted image

Camera obscura

Alhazen was the first to notice the natural phenomenon
inverted image
Believing that it is harmful to look at the open sun
with the naked eye, Alhazen in his experiments on
astronomy, used a small round
hole in the wall, as a result of such observations on
the effect appeared on the white walls of darkened rooms
inverted image
As you already understand, Alhazen used a camera -
obscura, "a room, part of which is illuminated
the sun"
Camera obscura

Camera obscura. Operating principle

Light in straight lines through
a small hole made in
center. Lines of light reflected
from the sunlit base
landscape, penetrate the hole and
projected in a straight line to
at the top of the wall of a darkened room.
Also lines of light reflected from
top of the landscape, go to
base of the wall and all lines
passing through the center they form

Artists and photographic vision

Apparently, he was the first to use a camera obscura for
sketches from life by Leonardo da Vinci. He also
described it in detail in his “Treatise on Painting.”
Some artists used the camera obscura to
creating your own works - landscapes, portraits,
everyday sketches.
The camera obscura of those times were large
drawers with a mirror system to deflect light. Often
instead of a simple hole, a single hole was used
lens, which made it possible to significantly increase brightness and
image sharpness.

Joseph Niépce (1765-1833) was
the first one to receive
image and pinned it. About
R. Hunt testified to this
"Niepce knows the method of creating

Dageroscope

In order for the light to draw for him, Niépce used a coating on a plate of
glass or copper, which he made from special bitumen dissolved in
animal oil
After exposure (from 2-4 hours), when the image has hardened, Niépce
took the plate into a dark room and dipped it in acid, which dissolved
coating, leaving sun-marked lines on the plate.
The artist then engraved these lines, applied ink and stamped
required number of copies

1839 is the last day of January. Tabolt published a report
"some conclusions about the art of photogenic drawing or about
the process by which objects in nature can be painted
themselves without the help of a pencil"
Tabolt discovered that if you immerse a sheet of paper in a weak
salt solution, and then when the paper is dry, dip it in the solution
silver nitrate in paper tissues forms a photosensitive
element, silver chloride

is based on the fact that if you photograph any scene from two points located on
some distance from each other (approximately
distance between a person's eyes), and then
arrange the resulting pair of pictures (so
called a stereo pair) so that one eye sees
only one shot, and the other eye is the second one, then
a person will see a “three-dimensional” image.

In an era overloaded with information, photography

apt remark or proverb

Photography is the production and preservation of a static image on a light-sensitive material using a camera. Also, a photograph or photograph, or simply a snapshot, is the final image obtained as a result of the photographic process and viewed directly by a person. In a broader sense, photography is the art of taking photographs, where the main creative process lies in the search and selection of composition, lighting and moment (or moments) of the photograph. This choice is determined by the skill and skill of the photographer, as well as his personal preferences and taste, which is typical for any type of art.


In 1725, A.P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin (), an amateur chemist, later a politician, and Johann Heinrich Schulze (), a physicist, professor at the University of Halle in Germany, discovered that under the influence of light, solutions of iron salts change color. In 1725, while trying to prepare a luminous substance, he accidentally mixed chalk with nitric acid, which contained some dissolved silver.




Black and white photography is historically the first type of photography. After the advent of color and then digital photography, black and white photographs retained their popularity. Often color photographs are converted to black and white for an artistic effect.


Color photography appeared in the mid-19th century. The first permanent color photograph was taken in 1861 by James Maxwell using three-color photography (color separation method). To obtain a color photograph, three cameras with color filters installed on them (red, green and blue) were used. The resulting photographs made it possible to recreate a color image during projection (and later in printing).


Digital photography is a relatively young but popular technology that originated in 1981, when Sony launched the Sony Mavica camera with a CCD matrix that recorded images on disk. This device was not digital in the modern sense (an analog signal was recorded on disk), but it made it possible to abandon photographic film. The first full-fledged digital camera, the DCS 100, was released in 1990 by Kodak.







































Collage is a technical technique in the fine arts that consists in creating paintings or graphic works by gluing objects and materials that differ from the base in color and texture onto any base. A collage is also a name for a work made entirely in this technique. Collage is used mainly to obtain the effect of surprise from the combination of dissimilar materials, as well as for the sake of the emotional richness and poignancy of the work. The collage can be completed with any other means of ink, watercolor, etc.

Photography is the art of taking photographs, where the main creative process lies in finding and choosing the composition, lighting and moment (or moments) of the photograph. This choice is determined by the skill and skill of the photographer, as well as his personal preferences and taste, which is also typical for any type of art.

Slide 3

History of the development of photography as an art Today, no one doubts the fact that artistic photography is an art that reflects the creative vision of the photographer as an artist. However, even at the dawn of the development of photography for several decades, the acute question was whether photography could be classified as art or whether it was simply nothing more than a means of recording and transmitting information about the world around us. It took photography many years to carve out its own place in the art world, along with sculpture, cinema, painting and theater. But now any photographer can express his attitude to the world around him and phenomena through such means of photography as angle, color or choice of moment of shooting. When the first photographic prints appeared, no one took photography seriously. It was considered just simple pampering and child's play for a limited circle of people. In the first years after its emergence, photography, due to technical limitations, could not lay claim to either documentary, or any artistic value, or freedom of lighting solutions and the creative vision of the photographer. In the 19th century, it was widely believed that only a man-made work could be classified as art. Accordingly, photographic prints, which were obtained using various physical and chemical methods, simply could not claim the status of art. Even though the first generation of photographers tried to somewhat enliven the composition of their photographs with some interesting techniques and approaches, photography nevertheless continued to remain an amusing trinket in the eyes of public opinion. Photography was considered by critics of that time only as a mechanical copy of reality, capable of being only a semblance of artistic painting. Until the 20s and 30s of the 20th century, articles and publications seriously considered the question of whether photography is an art or just an applied, practical skill, where the key role is played by the technique, and not the photographer himself.

Slide 4

The shots from which the history of photography began. Almost 200 years ago, Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niepce smeared a thin layer of asphalt on a metal plate and exposed it to the sun in a camera obscura. This is how he received the world's first “reflection of the visible.” The picture did not turn out to be of the best quality, but this is where the history of photography begins.

Slide 5

The first color photograph The very first color photograph was taken in 1861 by the English physicist James Clerk Maxwell. The photo is called “Tartan Ribbon”

Slide 6

The first photomontage In 1858, Henry Peach Robinmon performed the first photomontage, combining several negatives into one image. This is "Fading Away" - a combination of five negatives depicting the death of a girl from tuberculosis.

Slide 7

The first photographic portrait The first photographic portrait in the world is a self-portrait of Robert Cornelius, 1839. After removing the cover from the photographic lens, he rushed into the frame, where he sat for more than a minute until the lens was closed. The words written on the back in Cornelius's own hand read: “The first picture ever seen. 1839 »

Slide 8

The first photograph of a person The first photograph of a person is considered to be “Boulevard du Temple” - a photograph taken by Louis Daguerre at the end of 1838. In the lower left corner you can see the figure of a man whose shoes are being cleaned. He remained motionless long enough to be captured on the photographic plate. The exposure was at least 10 minutes.

Slide 9

The first photograph from space The very first photograph in space was taken on October 24, 1946. The photo was taken from a V-2 rocket using a 35mm camera.

Slide 15

The first color photograph of the Earth One of the very first photographs of the Earth from space was taken by the Apollo 17 crew on December 7, 1972.

Slide 16

The First 3D Photos In the 1920s, Cavenders, a cigarette company, was looking for a way to increase sales. To make the packaging more attractive, he turned to fellow photographer Durden Holmes to come up with something eye-catching. The photographer came up with an unusual idea: print two pictures next to each other on cigarette packs, one for the left eye, the other for the right. At the same time, the image in one picture was slightly shifted to the side, and when looking at the pictures, a feeling of depth in the photograph was created, a 3D effect. Today, these pictures have been converted into GIF images and received a real and familiar 3D effect.

Slide 18

Genres of photography In the 20th century, when photography techniques were sufficiently improved, sufficiently sensitive photographic materials and convenient cameras appeared, photography turned from a technical curiosity into one of the types of fine art, related to painting, but different from it. In total, during the history of the development of photography, many genres have emerged:

History of photography

Photography (French photographie from ancient Greek φως / φωτος - light and γρ αφω - writing; light painting - technique of drawing with light) - obtaining and storing a static image on a photosensitive material (photo film or photographic matrix) using a camera.

In a broader sense, photography is the art of taking photographs, where the main creative process lies in finding and choosing the composition, lighting and moment (or moments) of the photograph. This choice is determined by the skill and skill of the photographer, as well as his personal preferences and taste, which is typical for any type of art.

Images using visible light reflected from objects were obtained in ancient times and were used for painting and technical work. The method, later called orthoscopic photography, does not require serious optical devices. In those days, only small holes and sometimes slits were used. Images were projected onto surfaces opposite to these holes.

The method was further improved with the help of optical instruments placed in place of the hole. This served as the basis for the creation of a camera that limits the resulting image from exposure to non-image-carrying light. The camera was called a pinhole; the image was projected onto its rear matte wall and redrawn along the contour by the artist. After the invention of methods for chemical image recording, the camera obscura became a structural prototype of the photographic apparatus. The name "photography" was chosen as the most euphonious of several options by the French Academy in 1839.

History of photography (continued)

Therefore, the first photograph in history is considered to be the “view from the window” photograph taken by Niepce in 1826 using a camera obscura on a tin plate covered with a thin layer of asphalt. The exposure lasted eight hours in bright sunlight. The advantage of Niépce's method was that the image turned out to be in relief (after etching the asphalt), and it could easily be reproduced in any number of copies.

In 1839, the Frenchman Louis-Jacques Mandé Daguerre published a method for producing an image on a copper plate coated with silver. After thirty minutes of exposure, Daguerre moved the plate to a dark room and held it for some time over heated mercury vapor. Daguerre used table salt as an image fixative. The picture turned out to be of fairly high quality - well-developed details in both highlights and shadows, however, copying the picture was impossible. Daguerre called his method of obtaining a photographic image daguerreotype. An original Daguerre camera made by Alphonse Giroux, it measures 12 x 14.5 x 20 inches. The inscription on the tag “The device has no guarantee if it does not bear the signature of Mr. Daguerre and the seal of Mr. Giroud.

Almost at the same time, the Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot invented a method for producing a negative photographic image, which he called calotype. Talbot used paper impregnated with silver chloride as an image carrier. This technology combined high quality and the ability to copy photographs (positives were printed on similar paper).

Photographer's kit, weighing between 70 and 120 pounds, required for wet collodion photography.

A camera for business cards, patented by Adolphe-Eugene Disderi in 1854. Eight exposures were made on a 6.5 by 8.5 inch plate. The print was then cut and pasted onto cards the size of a business card - 4 by 2.5 inches.

Horse in motion. 1878 Photos from wet plates. First successful photographs of a horse moving along a track in Palo Alto, San Francisco, June 19, 1878. The exposure of each negative was less than 1/2000 of a second. 12 chambers similar to the chamber below were used.

Eastman in 1888 developed an excellent amateur camera for its time and gave birth to a word that has since become synonymous with the word “camera” - “kodak”. The Kodak camera was a small box (hence the name "detective camera"), a little over 6 inches long, 3.5 inches wide and less than 4 inches high. Anyone who, as stated in the instructions, could work with it was able to: 1. Direct the camera. 2. Press the button. 3. Turn the key. 4. Pull the cord.

Color photography appeared in the mid-19th century. The first permanent color photograph was taken in 1861 by James Maxwell using three-color photography (color separation method). To obtain a color photograph, three cameras with color filters installed on them (red, green and blue) were used. The resulting photographs made it possible to recreate a color image during projection (and later in printing).

On December 13, 1902, Prokudin-Gorsky first announced the creation of color transparencies using the method of three-color photography

Stenop (from French Sténopé) is a photographic device without a lens, the role of which is played by a small hole. Stenope is used to produce landscape photographs with a soft image, somewhat similar to the image during sleep.


The history of photography. The first fixed image was made in 1822 by the Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niepce, but it has not survived to this day. Therefore, the first photograph in history is considered to be the “view from the window” photograph taken by Niepce in 1826 using a camera obscura on a tin plate covered with a thin layer of asphalt. The exposure lasted eight hours in bright sunlight. The advantage of Niépce's method was that the image turned out to be in relief (after etching the asphalt), and it could easily be reproduced in any number of copies. The world's first photograph, "View from a Window", 1826 Early color photography (1915)1915


A photographer is a person who practices photography. There are amateur photographers and professional photographers. An amateur photographer is a person who takes photographs for his own pleasure or entertainment, taking pictures for family, friends, for his blog posted on the Internet, etc. A professional photographer is a person whose main income comes from photography.


The work of a photographer in the narrow sense is direct photography. In a broad sense, a photographer is a person whose tasks include preparing for filming (choosing a topic, negotiations, obtaining permits and approvals, selecting models, props, equipment, choosing a location, etc.), direct photography and subsequent processing and printing work photographs, sale of material.


Professional skills and characteristics of the profession Dominant professional orientation: creativity, artistic images in combination with production and technology. It is important to find your own unique style, which can be created not only by artistic images, but also by an original technical solution in image processing.


What requirements does this profession place on an employee (personal abilities and qualities): * pronounced artistic abilities; * developed communication skills (more often it is necessary to work with the client); * creativity and high performance, physical endurance; * flexibility of thinking, developed imaginative thinking; * good memory (especially visual).








Family photographer - photographer taking family portraits in the interior, making a family album Household photographer - photographer making photos for documents, taking portraits to order in the studio, tourists against the backdrop of attractions, group photos in schools and kindergartens, corporate events


A forensic photographer is a photographer who takes pictures of incident scenes, corpses and material evidence for the needs of forensic medicine, investigative bodies, etc. A laboratory photographer is a researcher who provides photographic support for laboratory research




Place of work * newspaper or magazine (photojournalist); * photo studio (photos for documents, artistic photography); * holiday agencies and companies (photography of weddings, celebrations, anniversaries, presentations, etc.); * modeling business (shooting shows, developing a portfolio for models); * artist-photographer – independent creativity in various genres. * workshop


Today photography has entered a stage of dramatic changes associated with the introduction of digital methods and means. A modern photographer, using digital technologies, works “at the interface”, in adjacent, border areas between technology, technology and art.


The profession of a photographer can be obtained in: * state educational institutions; * commercial photo studios and photo schools; * educational projects in the field of photography. A professional photographer can be a creative person who does not have a special education, but has artistic abilities and strives for professional self-improvement.
