    PHOTOGRAPHY

     Photography is a beautiful culmination of art and technology.


     The word photography derived from the Greek photos (“light”) and graphein (“to draw”), which
    means ‘drawing with light’.
    A camera obscura is a dark room that consists of a small hole on one of its walls. When the outdoor
    environment is well-illuminated, the light enters the darkroom through the hole and projects an inverted
    image of the outside world on its wall.

     This concept resembled a camera and was discovered around the 4th century BCE.
     It is considered as the foundation of photography.

    Daguerreotype Process

     An image was created when the silver and mercury vapor mixed to release fumes. To stop future
    exposure, a saline solution was used to wash the plate.
     Louise Daguerre called his invention the “Daguerreotype”, which remained the most common
    commercial process until the 1850s.

    Calotype Process

     The British inventor of this photography is claimed to be William Henry Fox Talbot.
     He discovered in 1834 how to create and preserve images on paper using the interaction of light
    and chemical.

     In 1888, Eastman introduced the Kodak camera. His innovation made it possible for anyone to
    snap images with a handheld camera by just pressing a button. He coined the slogan, "you press
    the button, we do the rest," and within a year it became a well-known phrase.
     George Eastman will be remembered throughout history for founding the Eastman Kodak
    Company and revolutionizing the photography, film, and motion picture industries. It made
    photography commoner’s art.
    Color Photography

     The autochrome method was invented by Auguste and Louis Lumière in 1907.

    improved upon and made more affordable.
     Additionally, Edwin Land, the creator of Polaroid, debuted the first instant camera in 1947.

    digital photography.
     For the following 30 years, digital cameras dominated and flourished as a standard home item.

    Photography in the Philippines

     The Spaniards were the first ones to introduce photography to the Philippines dating back to
    1841. During that year, Don Sinibaldo de Mas arrived in the Philippines as a government
    diplomat for the Spanish King.
     He was tasked to record conditions in the colony and to relay that information back to Spain. He
    brought the daguerreotype with him from Spain to the Philippines.
