1. Camera Obscura (also known as pinhole image) is a natural optical phenomenon, occurring when an image on the other side of a screen is projected through a small hole in the screen, showing a reversed and inverted image on the surface opposite. This came from the 19th century optical device, described as the “forerunner of the modern camera” – a “darkened box” which was fitted with a convex lens used to project the image of an external object onto a screen inside. It is often used by artists when making a quick sketch. 2. Eadweard Muybridge was famous for being a pioneer in the photography field, but is best known for the invention of the first projector, which was operated with rotating glass discs which would project images onto each other in quick succession, giving the illusion of a moving image.
3. Chuck Close said that photography was the easiest medium in which to be confident, while also being the hardest medium in which to have a distinct personal vision.4. George Eastman invented both the first Kodak Camera and Roll Film. His invention changed photography by allowing people to capture memories instantly with a click of a button, rather than going through the long process that had been done before.5. The Daguerreotype is a highly detailed image on a polished copper plate, coated with silver – it was the first popular photographic medium. Henry Fox Talbot used a different technique known as the salted paper and calotype processes, which acted as precursors to photographic processes in later centuries. This technique was a paper-based photographic process, used to produce positive prints – and consisted of paper coated with silver iodide. Both used different materials to effectively create a picture. The Daguerreotype is a direct photographic process, without needing duplication. While calotypes are negatives that are later printed on paper, daguerreotypes are negative images on mirrored surfaces that reflect a positive looking image.
