Anna Atkins, the first women photographer, had many talents and I chose her book covers “Cyanotypes of British and Foreign Ferns” because I thought it was the best example that both spoke about what she did for photography as well as science. Her work was not just art but it itself was groundbreaking for other women photographers and scientist alike. This process, of documenting ferns, allowed people to understand what they looked like, size and scale, giving proof to science and the botanist community on their existence and important documentary need. Her images allowed for women, in her time, to see that there was more to photography then just a portrait shot - also giving women a real stand alone place in a field, science and photography, where is was dominated by men. An artist herself who drew and was a published novelist already, had the background foundation to created a book that is both beautiful art as well as important research to botany. Atkins and her father were both taught under Talbots teachings on the process of photography, the different ways to apply sunlight to make an image. Talbots writes on the uses of light, “For example, nothing can be more perfect than the images it gives of leaves and flowers, especially with a summer sun: the light passing through the leaves delineates every ramification of their nerves.” (Talbot 31). I would like to think that part of Talbots loves of nature and light rubbed off on Atkins spurring her to take of the challenge…

They reinvented ‘Solarization’ which is the process of recording pictures on the negative dark with light etc. Man Ray accidentally discovered the photogram technique when trying to develop photos in the dark room. This was known as photography without a camera because you would just use light sensitive paper and shadows. He called them ‘Rayographs’ and also spent another 40 years exploring this technique. This is when most of his important artworks were created. Between 1923 and 1929 he…
who works in a medium inextricable linked to reality” (Weiss 24). To achieve an effective abstract photograph, one must take a reality and twist it until it’s no longer recognizable. The subject of an abstract image can range from plant life to architecture; there is no subject that cannot be abstracted. Abstract photography became present in America in the early 20th century. Around that time, a group of photographers that named themselves Group f/64 were forerunners in the abstract field. With…

Photography was developed in 1826 when the first photography was made in France by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, Niepce tried to create printing images, without using engraving, which is used in the printing press. Although Niepce made the first photography, other men were also experimenting. Louis Jacque Mande Daguerre took one of the earliest…
