Camera obscura

signed a contract on December 14 of the year in which they began working together agreeing that Daguerre would make improvements to the camera obscura that they began with and in return, Niepce agreed to show Daguerre the process that allowed them to capture still images with said camera. Before their invention was perfected, Daguerre “admitted that the camera obscura he gave to Niepce was ineffective in producing cleared images” (Marien 13). After Niepce’s passing in 1833, Daguerre took over…

As Arabs were travelers and tradesmen they carried their ideas, inventions and enormous amounts of freights to where ever they travelled to. They got the idea from India, China, Ancient Egypt etc. Some say the knowledge gap was occurred due to deliberate conspiracies. This was mainly because they never wanted their offspring to know what Muslims have contributed to their advancement and just wanted to show the European superiority. After the industrialization, secularization started to exist in…

We are to watch the movie, “A Girl with a Pearl Earrings”, by the director Peter Weber, that was filmed in 2003. The movie is based on Johannes Vermeer, the famous artist’s life and what is the story behind his painting of the girl with the pearl earrings. The movie is quit modest with the way it presented that period of time with the way they dressed to the way they spoke. It also focused of how art was important, precious and a luxury to attain. It addresses the tough life of people that…

would take hours not just seconds. The credit is not often given when thinking of how our world would be if not for photography. Now the first ever close idea of photography started all the way back in ancient times back with Aristotle. He used camera obscuras to project images on a wall in a dark room with…

considered paintings to be the beginning of photography, nor have I ever considered rough sketches of city streets to be its humble beginnings either. I have never gone to an art museum and thought, “hm, maybe this artist was using some sort of camera obscura technique to help see an image clearer, or to see different angles of the image at the same time.” From now on, I will. It is an extremely innovative technique that has never once crossed my mind. Looking at the images in the power point,…

How society defines an artist differs from one person to another. An artist is anyone how has the ability to use their creativeness to express themselves. In present time, society drew a fine line between art and science to distinguish the indistinguishable. The idea of which technology is a form of cheating that is available for artist is nonsense. Art and science intertwine regardless of all efforts to separate the two. After watching Tim’s Vermeer (2013) documentary film, I was astonished by…

debate, many people were skeptical of the new instruments Galileo was using to make observations about the heavens. But because of the vast evidence the instruments produced, particularly the extremely detailed pictures Galileo created through the camera obscura, that the sunspots were real imperfections on the sun, instruments began to gain credibility as a means for not only observing the earth but also observing the…

Richard Learoyd is a British photographer, born 1966 – present, who utilizes a particular photographic processes called camera obscura, Latin translation “dark room,” to create his works of art. Learoyd designed and built his own room-sized portable camera obscura which sits adjacent to room his subject possess – separated by a singular lens. During this process, light falls upon the subject and is instantly fixated onto the photographic paper, no negative is produced. Learoyd’s approach to the…

Snap! As a the sound of the camera shutter snaps an image. Taking a picture of that perfect moment, stopping all time at that moment, saving it as a little image that can be kept forever. Photography all kicked off in 1826 when Louis Daguerre made the first camera, but Joseph Niepce made the first Camera Obscura to take the first image. Building off of Louis’ invention of that camera. Throughout time it advanced, opening many new ways for photo taking. For example, in 1861 when James Clerk…
