    ASSIGNMENT NO.1
    FAMOUS 19th CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHERS

    1. WILLIAM HENRY FOX TALBOT: (1800-1877)

    An English chemist, linguist, archaeologist, and pioneering photographer, William Henry


    Fox Talbot also studied languages. He is well known for creating the calotypes, an early
    photographic technique that outperformed French inventor Louis Daguerre's
    daguerreotype. If Talbot's technology had been disclosed only a few weeks sooner than it
    was, he and not Daguerre would have been recognized as the fathers of photography.
    Talbot's calotypes employed a photographic negative from which multiple prints could be
    produced. He held a contentious patent that had an impact on the early growth of
    commercial photography in Britain. He was also a well-known photographer who helped
    to advance the art form of photography. He took some significant early photographs of
    Oxford, Paris, Reading, and York, which he used as illustrations in The Pencil of Nature,
    which was published between 1844 and 1846.
    2. JULIA MARGARET CAMERON: (1815-1879)

    One of the most significant portrait photographers of the 19th century was British
    photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. She is recognized for her delicate portraits of
    men, women, and children as well as for her soft-focus close-ups of notable Victorian
    men and women. She is also noted for her illustrations of mythological, Christian, and
    literary characters. After displaying a strong interest in photography for a long time,
    Cameron only started taking pictures when she was 48 years old and her daughter got her
    a camera. In a short period of time, she created a sizable body of work that captured the
    brilliance, innocence, and beauty of the men, women, and kids who came to her
    Freshwater studio. She also developed distinctive allegorical images that were influenced
    by theatre, tableaux vivants, Italian painters of the 15th century, and the works of her
    artistic contemporaries. Over a 12-year period, she took about 900 photos throughout her
    brief but fruitful photography career.
    3. MATHEW BRADY: (1823-1896)

    The most well-known Civil War photographer is Mathew B. Brady. Brady is most known
    for his wartime images, but long before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter in 1861,
    he had already made a name for himself as one of the nation's leading photographers.
    He received his education from inventor Samuel Morse, who introduced the
    daguerreotype process to America. In 1844, Brady established his own studio in New
    York City, where he took portraits of famous people like Abraham Lincoln and John
    Quincy Adams. Brady used a mobile studio and darkroom to create thousands of
    spectacular battlefield images that helped the public understand the reality of combat
    when the Civil War first broke out. He also took pictures of generals and politicians from
    both sides of the fight, though Brady's aides took the majority of them.
