History of Photography

The field of photography has experienced a number of key developments that have changed how we take, exchange, and display pictures. The development of the first usable camera in the early 19th century, which enabled people to record and store images of their surroundings, is one of the most notable moments in the history of photography. Since the advent of the camera, our perception of the world has undergone a radical transformation. Today, cameras are an essential part of daily life, allowing us to document and share our experiences with others.

The invention of photographic film in the middle of the 19th century was another important milestone in the history of photography. The creation of photographic film made photography more widely available by enabling photographers to capture several images on a single roll of film. Furthermore essential to the spread of photography was photographic film, which some photographers continue to use today due to its distinct visual appeal.

Another significant development that had a significant impact on photography was the development of the digital camera in the latter part of the 20th century. The advent of the digital camera transformed how we take and share pictures, enabling more people than ever to enjoy photography. The photographs that digital cameras produce can be readily modified and shared online. They are portable and simple to use. The creation of new visual communication mediums like social media platforms like Instagram, which have revolutionized how we share and view photographs, has also been facilitated by the rise of digital photography.

TAKE A VACATION

For my vacation I decided to go to a flower field. Although I do not know where this exact location is, it’s somewhere I would like to go. It’s hard now to find somewhere beautiful and peaceful, which is why I would want to go here with my dog and my favorite food sushi. I hope one day I can go somewhere similar to this place.

100 MOST INFLUENTIAL IMAGES OF ALL TIME

Nuit De Noel, Malick Sidibe, 1963

the life and work of Malick Sidibé, a Malian photographer who captured the changing landscape of his country through his camera lens. As French colonial rule ended in 1960, Sidibé took thousands of photos that documented the zeitgeist of the time, capturing young people embracing a world without shackles, wearing flashy clothes, and straddling Vespas. His photos were a real-time chronicle of a fleeting moment. One of his famous photos was taken on Christmas Eve in 1963, capturing a young couple lost in each other’s eyes on an empty dance floor. Sidibé’s talent to observe allowed him to capture the quiet intimacy of the moment, which reflected the new era of music and freedom that was emerging in Mali. I chose this photo because it’s something you’d see in a movie but the photographer was able to catch it in a real life event.

 

The Situation Room, Pete Souza, 2011

The document discusses how Official White House photographers capture presidents at play, at work, and in important meetings. Occasionally, they also capture watershed moments that become a part of our collective memory. One such moment was on May 1, 2011, when Pete Souza captured a photo of President Barack Obama and other officials in the Situation Room watching the real-time execution of the U.S. forces’ raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound. This photo is the only public image of that momentous occasion, as no photographs of bin Laden’s dead body were released. The reason I picked this picture was because it is important to our history in America and it is the only photo during this situation.

99 Cent, Andreas Gursky, 1999

Andreas Gursky’s photograph, 99 Cent, is a digital composition of multiple images taken inside a 99 Cents Only store in Los Angeles. The photo features endless rows of merchandise with anonymous shoppers’ heads floating above them, resembling abstract or Impressionist paintings. Through digital manipulation and unique composition, Gursky turns everyday experiences into art, blurring the lines between high art and commerce, conceptual rigor and spontaneous observation, and photography and painting. In 2006, 99 Cent sold for $2.3 million at auction, setting a record for the most expensive contemporary photograph ever sold and helping modern photography gain recognition in the art world. I really like the color of the photo, makes it feel more lively and makes you notice how privilege we are to live in a country like this; compared to the other photographs were we see 3rd world countries it’s a big difference.
