A Brief History of Digital Photography
The invention of digital photography required the realization of an optical device allowing the creation of the image and finding a way to fix this picture on a durable medium by a chemical process irreversible.
The two phenomena needed to obtain a photograph had long been known for some, including the effect of light on silver chloride.
Jacques Charles in 1780 and had managed to freeze so fleeting silhouette on paper soaked in silver chloride by the method of the darkroom.
Around 1826, Joseph Ni?pce manages to fix quality images average plates pewter coated with bitumen of Judea (a type of natural tar having the property of hardening in the light). This First “picture” has necessitated a break of several hours.
The official date of the invention of digital photography is 1839: Francois Arago presented at the Academy of Sciences of the daguerreotype, an improvement of the invention due to Niepce Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, which reduces the exposure time in half an hour .
Even if these images could be produced only a single copy for both a result of a random quality, the long history of digital photography is running.
Technical developments
During the history of digital photography, technological advances will reduce the exposure time (by increasing the speed sensitive surfaces and light of the objectives), improving the stability of the resulting image and a simplified application of this technique.
The devices become both more light and less expensive, the development will be facilitated by advances in chemistry, before being upset by the introduction of the computer which allows the digitization of the image .
The invention of the negative
It is to William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) that we owe the invention in 1840 of “calotype”, a negative-positive process that allows multiple scattering images.
Various methods will succeed in the second half of the nineteenth century and improve image quality, sensitivity to light sensitive surfaces and simplify the shooting.
While the first photographs were made on glass plates bulky, heavy and fragile, in 1884, George Eastman invents flexible sensitive surfaces and the film celluloid. This milestone in the history of digital photography will be used to store multiple images in the camera.
Color digital photography
Another milestone in the history of digital photography, the first truly practical method of color digital photography appears in the early twentieth century.
This is autochrome, invented by the Lumiere Brothers in 1903 and commercialized since 1907, with support for the glass plate.
It was not until 1935 that color digital photography is spreading with compact cameras with the first color film, Kodachrome and the Agfacolor.
The success of large-scale digital photography depended on the possibility of drawing on paper, an innovation that allows Kodacolor that spreads widely in the 1950 format 135.
The small size
In 1913 Oskar Barnack built the first prototype of the Leica, which was produced and commercialized since 1925. This device was the first to use the 24 ? 36, a crucial innovation in the history of digital photography.
Previously, the format of negative images was at least 4.5 ? 6 cm and more often than 6 ? 9 cm and over, so it was difficult to arrange on the same film more than a dozen views.
The use of 35mm film with pictures of 24 ? 36 mm to triple the range of a movie. The 24 ? 36 becomes the standard most used in practice both amateur and professional digital photography until the late twentieth century.
The Polaroid
The Polaroid instant-first device, was developed around 1948 by Edwin Land, then adapted the color photo in 1962.
All current photographic processes by silver image are merely refinements of these inventions that have marked the history of digital photography.
Digital photography
With the twenty-first century, the history of digital photography into the digital age: computer skills can transform an image into a series of points, pixels. The sensitive film is replaced by electronic sensors of the image.
This technology marks a complete break with the physical and chemical processes that were at the origin of the photographic technique.
The resolution of these sensors (the number of pixels they are able to analyze) is changing very rapidly and technological change seems to condemn the technique silver does exist in the form of artistic expression.

The Düsseldorf School of Photography – DAP $95 The Düsseldorf School of Photography Edited and text by Stefan Gronert. The German photographic movement commonly known as the Düsseldorf School of Photography has become synonymous with artistic excellence and innovation. It began in the mid-1970s at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, under the instruction of the photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher, known for their comparative grids of mundane industrial buildings captured with an objective and clinical eye. This school has not only birthed some of today’s most important and successful photographers, but has also had a fundamental and lasting influence on the history of the medium. The Düsseldorf School of Photography presents over 160 images in a spectacular overview of the breadth of the Düsseldorf School from the early 1970s to today. This impeccable survey is filled with superb reproductions of the best-known photographs by three generations of key Düsseldorf artists: Bernd and Hilla Becher, Laurenz Berges, Elger Esser, Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Simone Nieweg, Thomas Ruff, Jörg Sasse, Thomas Struth and Petra Wunderlich. With a scholarly text, extensive artist bios and a plate section dedicated to each of these artists, The Düsseldorf School of Photography offers the first comprehensive assessment of this important photographic movement—one that dominates the salesrooms and museums of our times.

Social Documentary Photography $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The social documentary photography entered into the awareness of photography and art history through the photographic practice of the Farm Security Administration (FSA). The FSA hired photographers and writers to report and document the plight of the poor farmer. The Information Division of the FSA was responsible for providing educational materials and press information to the public. Under Roy Stryker, the Information Division of the FSA adopted a goal of introducing America to Americans. Many of the most famous Depressionera photographers were fostered by the FSA project, such as Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Gordon Parks. FSA made 250,000 images of rural poverty. Fewer than half of those images survive and are housed in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Oral History and Photography By Freund, Alexander (EDT)/ Thomson, Alistair (EDT) $114.04 This essay collection explores the photographic turn in oral history. Contributors ask how oral historians can best use photographs in their interviewing practice and how they can best understand photographs in their interpretation of oral histories. The authors present a dozen case studies from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In exploring the intersection of oral history and photography, they complicate and move beyond the use of photographs as social documents and memory triggers and demonstrate how photographs frame oral narratives and how stories unsettle the seeming fixity of photographs meanings Author: Freund, Alexander (EDT)/ Thomson, Alistair (EDT) Series Title: Palgrave Studies in Oral History Publication Date: 2011/10/15 Number of Pages: 252 Binding Type: Hardcover Language: English Depth: 0.75 Width: 6.00 Height: 10.00 |

Portrait Photography Transformed: 1960 Present $167.28 Photography at the high school level has traditionally been taught in a studio or darkroom and rarely included art history. The curriculum was generally gender biased and narrowly focused, leaving little time to investigate important contributions of female photographers. Because of the digital revolution, photography has moved from the darkroom into the computer lab where students learn technical skills and basic software programs. Because computer lab exercises lack any broad intellectual significance, combining photography with computer technology in a classroom setting makes it possible for students to learn about one and become proficient at the other. Also, there has been little significant political, cultural, and social discourse in the classroom within a mainstream educational context. Portrait Photography Transformed: 1960 Present focuses on how changing times affect social concepts of art, communication, and technology. The study of portraiture offers a point of connection between contemporary modes of production and the timelessness of being human. Through portrait photography, students find mirrors reflecting who they were, are, or could be.

Photography as Fiction by Garcia, Erin C. [Hardcover] $28.56 Photography is commonly associated with fact, yet it has been a medium for fiction from the very beginning. Following its inception in 1839, artists began exploring photographys enormous potential for storytelling and often went to great lengths to create pictures for the camera. The tradition of staging persisted as an artistic approach into the twentieth century and took on new meaning in the context of advertising, film, and television. This books short introductory essay summarizes the history of staged photography, highlighting key debates that center on the seeming contradiction between the mediums blunt factuality and its capacity for deception. Photography as Fiction includes seventysix color plates illustrating works from the J. Paul Getty Museums collection that embrace theatricality and are unconcerned with documenting the world as it exists. The book showcases works by both widely known and less prominent artists, including Julia Margaret Cameron, Lewis Carroll, Jo Ann Callis, Eileen Cowin, Roger Fenton, Gertrude Kasebier, Loretta Lux, Man Ray, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Yasumasa Morimura, Paul Outerbridge, Henry Peach Robinson, Lucas Samaras, Alfred Stieglitz, Andy Warhol, and Carrie Mae Weems.

History of the Camera $70.1 The first photograph was made in 1814 by Joseph Nicphore Nipce using a sliding wooden box camera made by Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris, the photograph was not permanent though and it faded. Nipce built on a discovery by Johann Heinrich Schultz (1724): a silver and chalk mixture darkens under exposure to light. While this was the introduction of photography, the history of the camera can be traced back much further. Photographic cameras were a development of the camera obscura, a device dating back to the Book of Optics (1021) of the Iraqi Arab scientist Ibn alHaytham (Alhacen),which uses a pinhole or lens to project an image of the scene outside onto a viewing surface. Before the invention of photographic lapel processes there was no way to preserve the images produced by these cameras apart from manually tracing them. The earliest cameras were roomsized, with space for one or more people inside; these gradually evolved into more and more compact models such as that by Nipces time portable handheld cameras suitable for photography were readily available Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 76 Publication Date: 2010/07/28 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.18 inches |

Panoramic Photography $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio. While there is no formal division between wideangle and panoramic photography, wide angle normally refers to a type of lens, but this lens type does not necessarily image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye about 160 by 75 may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as its height. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Kirlian Photography $71.7 Kirlian photography refers to a form of photogram made with a high voltage. It is named after Semyon Kirlian, who in 1939 accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is connected to a source of high voltage, small corona discharges create an image on the photographic plate. Kirlians work, from 1939 onward, involved an independent rediscovery of a phenomenon and technique variously called electrography, electrophotography, and corona discharge photography. The Kirlian technique is contact photography, in which the subject is in direct contact with a film placed upon a metal plate charged with high voltage, high frequency electricity. The underlying physics was explored as early as 1777 by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. Later workers in the field included Nikola Tesla; various other individuals explored the effect in the later 19th and early 20th centuries.

History of the SingleLens Reflex Camera $124.27 The history of the singlelens reflex camera predates the invention of photography in 1826/27 by one and a half centuries with the use of a reflex mirror in a camera obscura first described in 1676. Such SLR devices were popular as drawing aids throughout the 18th century, because an artist could trace over the ground glass image to produce a truelife realistic picture. A British patent was granted in 1861 for the first internal mirror SLR photographic camera, but the first production photographic SLR did not appear until 1884 in America. These primitive SLR cameras began to mature in the early 20th century, but their many disadvantages continued to make them unsatisfactory for general photographic use for decades. The SLR may be elegantly simple in concept, but it turned out to be fiendishly complex in practice. The SLRs shortcomings were solved one by one as optical and mechanical technology advanced and in the 1960s the SLR camera became the preferred design for many highend camera formats.

25 Under 25: Up-and-coming American Photographers, Volume 2 $24.95 A CDS Book25 Under 25: Up-and-Coming American Photographers, Volume 2 showcases 25 more of America’s most promising photographers, 25 years old and younger. Illuminating and sometimes startling, the collection presents work by an emerging generation of photographers at the start of their careers. The first book in the series, published in 2003 by powerHouse Books and CDS Books, was selected as a Best Book of 2003 by Photo District News. This new volume of 25 Under 25 features photographs selected by renowned photographer Sylvia Plachy that explore the theme of “transitions”: what it means to be in-between, in flux, at odds, in a new state of being—personally, locally, nationally, or internationally. The photographers, who must have been born on or after April 28, 1980, were drawn from a widely publicized, nationwide competition run by CDS. 25 Under 25 presents a wide array of photographs reflecting the world as seen through young but sophisticated eyes—the devastation from Hurricane Katrina; the battle-weary soldiers and civilian casualties of the Iraq War; explicit explorations of sexuality; urban and suburban landscapes. These images, whether of people or of what people leave behind, show us that the human imprint is everywhere, moving, altering, desiring, aspiring to permanence. “What we search for is a secret, like the pearl in the ocean, not easily found or given up. We are curious, driven, sometimes outgoing, sometimes introverted; much of who we are is visible in our pictures,” Sylvia Plachy writes in her introduction. “Too often, in the service of politics and commerce, photographs are inadequate or false. But here, we project ourselves into these images filled with insight and compassion and enter their collective memory as a continuation in the history of photography. All of these photographers, each in their own perceptive way, surprise us with their |

44 Days: Iran and the Remaking of the World $1.99 At a time when most Westerners fled the carnage in Iran, David Burnett was one of the few to stay and document the breathtakingly sudden fall of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in December 1978, and the chaotic political maneuvering that would culminate in the triumph of the Ayatollahs and the birth of the Islamic Republic.44 Days re-creates a coup that led to our long hostage crisis, President Jimmy Carter’s political demise, and an enmity still blazing after thirty years. Burnett’s vivid images of the dizzying events and emotions of that turbulent time illustrate his narrative of the monarchy’s destruction, the last-ditch efforts to salvage a secular government, and the establishment of a hard-line regime dominated by religious leaders and the rule of Islamic law. Accompanying Burnett’s account is a penetrating foreword by commentator Christiane Amanpour, herself Iranian-born, as well as an essay by celebrated New York Times reporter John Kifner, who shares his own experience of revolution in Iran and reflects upon its decades-long aftermath.Filled with powerful insights into the revolution and its pertinence today, this book is for history and current affairs buffs, photography lovers, and everyone interested in the clash of Islamic fundamentalism and the West. |

A Body $11.59 For thirty-three years, John Coplans has photographed his body nude. He made his first picture of his back and hands in 1978 when he was fifty-eight and the last in A Body in 2001, at the age of eighty-one. Mythic in scope and unflinching in its examination of one person’s humanness and mortality, Coplans transcends, in this sequence of 115 images, the boundaries of photography as an art. A painter by training and a self-taught photographer by choice, Coplans uses his own headless body as his subject matter and as his medium to investigate every inch and idea about his maleness. Epic, grotesque, bittersweet, sensual, provocative, poignant, funny, and even — at times — absurd, Coplans achieves a visual meditation on the compelling relationship between sensuality, aging, and death that is unparalleled in the history of the medium.While Coplans has published abbreviated versions of his nude portraits in catalogues and small format books, A Body is the first publication to present the full emotional impact of this important work in an oversized monograph that takes the viewer on a protean voyage through, inside, around, and all over the human body. |

A Certain Alchemy $31.76 Lauded as “a transcendent realist” and “a poet of the ordinary,” Keith Carter is an internationally acclaimed photographer whose work has been shown in over one hundred solo exhibitions in thirteen countries. At first finding his subjects in the familiar, yet exotic, places and people of his native East Texas, Carter has since expanded his range not only geographically, but also into realms of dreams and imagination, where objects of the mundane world open glimpses into ineffable realities.In A Certain Alchemy, his tenth book, Keith Carter explores relationships that are timeless, enigmatic, and mythological. Drawing from the animal world, popular culture, folklore, and religion, Carter presents photographs that attempt to reflect hidden meanings in the real world. Accompanying the images is an introduction by Carter’s friend and fellow photographer Bill Wittliff, who describes Carter’s artistic journey and the epiphanies he has experienced. Patricia Carter, Keith’s wife and muse, also offers her insights into the wellsprings of his work.In Keith Carter’s own words, “A Certain Alchemy is a collection of imperfect observations of the relationship we have to our ideas of place, time, memory, desire, and regret. It is an anthology of oblique angles and awkward pauses that examines the history of photography and our own shared natural histories.” |
