Chap1 Flashcards
A CHINESE PHILOSOPHER who is mentioned in the first surviving principles behind the pinhole camera or camera obscura, referring to a device as a “COLLECTING PLATE” or “LOCKED TREASURE ROOM”
Mozi “Mo-ti”
A FAMOUS GREEK PHILOSOPHER who invented the first pinhole camera, known later as the CAMERA OBSCURA (meaning Darkened Box). He succeeded in recording the principle that light entering through a small hole produces an inverted image or figure
Aristotle
An ARABIAN SCHOLAR who found that light entering a small hole or shuttered window of a darkened room casts an upside-down picture of the outside scene. He used this in OBSERVING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE by entering a darkroom with a pinhole to avoid harming the eye
Alhazen “Ibn Al-Haytham”
He wrote a book entitled La pratica della perspettiva on perspective for artists and architects, describing how to use a lens with a camera obscura. He introduced the use of the lens in the camera
Daniele Matteo Alvise Barbaro
An English philosopher, mathematician, and physicist who discovered and PROVED THAT THE STRONGEST LIGHT IS WHITE LIGHT. He defined his theory by allowing white light (sunlight) to pass through a PRISM, refracting and diffracting the light into different colors
Sir Isaac Newton
A German scientist who discovered SILVER NITRATE, which turns purple when exposed to light. He later discovered that this reaction was not due to heat but light. He CONCLUDED THAT SILVER NITRATE IS SENSITIVE TO LIGHT and capable of producing images
Johann Heinrich Schulze
An artist and scientist who used the Camera Obscura and REPLACED THE HOLE WITH A LENS, MAKING THE IMAGE BRIGHTER AND SHARPER. He was the first one to replace the hole with a lens
Jean Baptiste Forta
He discovered that SILVER CHLORIDE is more sensitive than silver nitrate and more capable of recording and producing images
Thomas Wedgwood
He was able to obtain camera images on paper sensitized with silver chloride but the exposure faded later. HE INVENTED HELIOGRAPHY, a process that allowed him to record solar pictures
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce
HE COINED THE TERM “PHOTOGRAPHIE”
Hercules Florence
He invented the DAGUERREOTYPE, an early photograph produced on a silver-covered copper plate, forming an image directly on the silver surface of a metal plate. This process yielded one-of-a-kind images
Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre
He invented CALOTYPE, a process in which prints could be produced from a paper negative. Calotype used paper with surface fibers impregnated with light-sensitive compounds. He also discovered the latent image, the invisible product of short exposure that could be chemically developed
William Henry Fox Talbot
HE COINED THE TERM “PHOTOGRAPHY” and applied the terms “negative” and “positive” to photography. He invented the CYANOTYPE process and is known as the “FATHER OF PHOTOGRAPHY”
John Frederick William Herschel
An American artist and inventor who is responsible for INTRODUCING DAGUERRE’S PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS TO THE UNITED STATES. Morse returned to the US to spread the news after visiting Daguerre in Paris. (MORSE CODE)
Samuel Finley Breese Morse
He introduced the process of negatives on glass using ALBUMEN AS A BINDING MEDIUM
Abel Niépce de Saint-Victor
He introduced a printing paper coated with albumen to achieve a GLOSSY SURFACE, which dominated the form of photographic prints from 1855 to the start of the 20th century
Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard
A Scottish scientist who developed stereoscopic photography, creating images with a three-dimensional effect
Sir. David Brewster
He invented the PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLODION process, which preceded modern gelatin emulsion photography
Frederick Scott Archer
He popularized the small cheap portrait
André Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri
He constructed an enlarger to enlarge pictures
David A. Woodward
He took the first aerial photographs of Paris from a free balloon. FATHER OF AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Gaspard-Félix Tournachon AKA Nadar
Considered the “FATHER OF PHOTOJOURNALIS,” he preserved scenes of the American Civil War using a camera
Mathew B. Brady
He produced the earliest color photograph by photographing a tartan ribbon three times through red, blue, and yellow filters, later recombining the images into one color composite. He is considered the founder of the theory of ADDITIVE COLOR
James Clerk Maxwell
He created an APPARATUS for enlarging electric light images
Louis Jules Duboscq
He was the FIRST TO ADVOCATE the use of photography for the identification of criminals and documentation of crime scenes
Odelbrecht
He discovered the use of HYDROQUINONE as a developing agent in 1880, England
William de Wiveleslie Abney
He discovered the use of HYDROQUINONE as a developing agent in 1880, England
William de Wiveleslie Abney
He successfully introduced the PLATE WITH GELATINE. The roll film came and new brands of cameras with different lenses and mechanisms were placed in the market.
Richard Leach Maddox
He marketed the first negative film to use CELLULOID, transparent and flexible as the support for his gelatine emulsion.
Jean Carbutt
He discovered X-RAY PHOTOGRAPHY, which later became the basis of the Radiograph used by doctors in measuring the heartbeat and the structure of the body.
Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen
or Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen
He founded the EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY and invented roll film, helping bring photography to the mainstream. Mr. Eastman developed in 1900 the Kodak Brownie box roll-film camera.
George Eastman
A German scientist who contributed heavily to the use of photography in forensic science and established the WORLD’S EARLIEST CRIME LABORATORY that serviced the academic community and the Swiss Police.
Dr. Rudolphe Archibald Reiss
He won the Nobel Laureate in Physics for his method of reproducing colors photographically based on the interference phenomenon, also known as LIPPMANN PLATE.
Jonas Ferdinand Gabriel Lippmann
He developed a method of photographic COMPARISON OF BULLETS AND CARTRIDGE CASES, which acted as an early foundation of the field of BALLISTICS.
Victor Baltazard
He introduced POLAROID — one-step photography.
Edwin H. Land
He invented LASER, making holography possible in 1947.
Dennis Gabor
He DEVELOPED THE FIRST PROTOTYPE FOR A DIGITAL CAMERA; it was eight pounds and about the size of a toaster. He received a patent for it in 1978 and continued to work in the emerging field, finding ways to store, transmit, and manipulate digital images. Today, a majority of Americans own digital cameras, many as close as their mobile phones.
