Lens and mounting of a large-format camera Photography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.[1] Photography is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g. photolithography) and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, recreational purposes, and mass communication. Etymology[edit] The word "photography" was created from the Greek roots φωτός (phōtos), genitive of φῶς (phōs), "light"[2] and γραφή (graphé) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing",[3] together meaning "drawing with light".
Several people may have coined the same new term from these roots independently.

Then someone pointed out that I’d made an error. I mean, I may have misspoken. Wait, I mean I was less correct than I might have been. I listed the invention of the camera first (that part is pretty hard to argue with) but realized later that optical glass (which I said was second) probably should have been third. So, since I had to make a correction . . . I mean amendment. It seemed like it would be a good idea to expand the list of the most important developments in still photography that I started in my last article.
So, ladies and gentleman: without further ado, here for your argumentative pleasure, in order, are the most important technical developments in still photography as we practice the craft today. 1. Without the camera, nothing else really matters, so this has to go first. 2. Without good negatives and prints, photography only mattered to a few people. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 11. 12. 13. 14.

Vintage Photography Adverts. Light Painting, Performances and Media Art | LICHTFAKTOR. Lightwriting With Lichtfaktor. Light writing. Light writing is an emerging form of stop motion animation wherein still images captured using the technique known as light painting or light drawing are put in sequence thereby creating the optical illusion of movement for the viewer.[1] Technique[edit] Light writing is most akin to another form of stop motion animation known as direct manipulation animation.
The technique is also reminiscent of the slitscan process already used in the 1960s. Recent history[edit] Though the technique was employed almost one hundred years ago by Pablo Picasso it has only recently been used for main stream advertisements.[2] Awareness of light writing was raised when Sprint Nextel unveiled an ad campaign featuring the effect in the summer of 2007.[3] See also[edit] Persistence of vision, a phenomenon which produces an effect in the brain that makes light writing "work".

Last edit: 26 February 2015. Image by Andrew Davidhazy Slitscan imaging techniques are used to create static images of time-based phenomena. In traditional film photography, slit scan images are created by exposing film as it slides past a slit-shaped aperture.
In the digital realm, thin slices are extracted from a sequence of video frames, and concatenated into a new image. Recently I've seen many new-media projects based on slit-scan techniques. Eddie Elliott, one of the earliest researchers of digital slit-scan imaging, keeps a related list which is more oriented towards photography, early cinema and flipbooks.

Ms. Image Stacks (2003) Home. Languages Starting in 2005, "Le Reve Edition" has been at work publishing books and files dedicated to the history of photography.
These books and Collector files are absolutely essential to the "iconomechanophiles" among us who want to understand the history of the people who invented and perfected the "image boxes" we collect with such passion, and of the enterprises that produced them. Thanks to these reference books, generously illustrated and uniquely full of precise, detailed descriptions, your collection will at least be able to tell you its history. Chantal Muller, éditeur. Bill Kerr Mayfair PS. Siegfried Weizmann (the boss of Mayfair PS), who was a very well known London wedding photographer, sold the business soon after (between January & April 1964) to Oxley Industries whose registered offices were 35 Bruton Street, London, W1.
The accounts for the sale made interesting reading. In 1963/64 the Turnover of Mayfair PS was £620,000 and the profit ..wait for it .. was £320,000. I wonder how many businesses today could manage to achieve that ! It was a good deal when Mayfair PS was sold, but the fortunes of Mayfair PS deteriorated under Oxley Industries. When Mayfair PS joined Oxley Industries it moved its activities from West End Lane to Eastcote and Bill left shortly after to rejoin a major photographic dealer in Scotland. Bill concludes: They were interesting times; the photographic trade was full of characters. One character in Mayfair PS, after Oxley took over, was Jack Duffell who had been the boss of Rank Photographic (a MAJOR player in the trade) and another was Dick Luff.
