CHAPTER 1 Flashcards
A Chinese Philosopher who is mentioned in the first surviving principles behind the pinhole camera or camera obscura
Mozi “Mo - ti”
He was the one who succeeded in recording the principle that light entering through a small hole produces an inverted image or figure
Aristotle
He used the darkened room in observing the solar eclipse by entering a darkroom with a pinhole opening to avoid harming the eye
Alhazen “Ibn Al-Haytham”
He wrote a book entitled “La Practica Della Perspettiva” on the perspective of architects and artists.
Daniele Matteo Alvise Barbaro (1568)
He wrote a book entitled “La Practica Della Perspettiva” on the perspective of architects and artists.
Daniele Alvise Barbaro (1568)
The one who discovered and proved that the strongest light is white light. He defended his theory by allowing a white light pass through a prism thus refracting and diffracting the light on the different colors.
Sir Isaac Newton (1666)
He discovered the Silver Nitrate when he exposed it to light it turns purple. This finding is sensitive to light and capable of producing images
Johann Heinrich Schulze (1727)
He had made that the use of Camera Obscura replaced the hole with a lens which makes the image brighter and sharper and was the first one who introduced the lens.
Jean Baptiste Forta (1748-1796)
He discovered that Silver Chloride is more sensitive than Silver Nitrate and thus more capable of recording and producing images.
Thomas Wedgewood (1802)
He was able to obtain camera images on papers sensitized with silver chloride solution in 1816 which he called this process as Heliography that requires 8 hours of light exposure.
Joseph Nicephore Niepce (1816)
He coined the term photographie
Hercules Florence (1834)
He invented Daguerreotype an early photograph that produced on a silver covered copper plate.
Louis Jacques Daguerre (1837)
He succeeded in contact printings made in his miniature cameras (mouse-trap cameras) through a process called photogenic drawing
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He invented a process called Calotype a photographic process by which a large number of prints could be produced from a paper negative (3 - 15 minutes).
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He invented a process called Calotype a photographic process by which a large number of prints could be produced from a paper negative (3 - 15 minutes).
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He also discovered the latent image, the invisible product of a short exposure which could be chemically developed.
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He coined the term Photography
John Frederick William Herschel (1839)
He made improvements in photographic processes particularly in inventing Cyanotype using Ferric Ammonium Citrate and Potassium Ferricyanide (the precursors of the modern blueprint process)
John Frederick William Herschel (1839)
He is the reason why photography arrived in the United States in March 1839
Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1839)
He introduced a process of negatives on glass using albumen as a binding medium
Abel Niepce de Saint Victor (1848)
He introduced a printing paper coated with albumen found in egg white to achieve a glossy surface.
Louis Desire Blanquart Evrard (1850)
The one who developed stereoscopic photography involved in making pairs of negative and prints to replicate the process of human visions.
Sir David Brewster (1850-1860)
He invented the photographic collodion process which preceded the modern gelatin emulsion
Frederick Scott Archer (1851)
He popularized the small cheap portrait (carte de vice or calling card) anyone who could afford a picture of himself or herself)
Andre Adolphe Eugene Disderi (1854)
He first constructed an enlarger (telescope)
David A. Woodward (1857)
He took the first aerial photographs of Paris from a free balloon in 1858.
Gaspard Felix Tournachon A.K.A Nadar (1858)
He was considered the Father of Aerial Photography.
Gaspard Felix Tournachon A.K.A Nadar (1858)
He is considered the Father of Photojournalism , he was able to preserve the scene with the use of a camera.
Mathew B. Brady (1861)
He produced the earliest color photograph of an image of tartan ribbon by having it photograph three times through red, yellow and blue filters.
James Clerk Maxwell (1861)
He was credited as the founder of the theory of additive color.
James Clerk Maxwell (1861)
He was credited as the founder of the theory of additive color.
James Clerk Maxwell (1861)
He made an apparatus for enlarging by electric light and showed it to the Paris Photographic Society in 1861 (Lantern Photogenique)
Louis Jules Duboscq (1851)
He first advocated the use of photography for the identification of criminals and the documentation of evidence and crime scenes.
Odelbrecht (1864)
He discovered the use of Hydroquinone developing agent in 1880
William de Wiveleslie Abney (1880)
He successfully introduced the plate with gelatine (Roll Fill) a new brand of cameras with different lenses and mechanism were placed in market
Richard Leach Maddox (1884)
He marketed the first negative film to use celluloid transparent and flexible as the support for his gelatine emulsion.
John Carbutt (1888)
He discovered X-Ray Photography which later become the basis of Radiograph
Wilhem Conrad Rontgen or Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen (1895)
He founded the Eastman Kodak (Kodak Brownie) company and invented roll film, helping bring photography to the mainstream
George Eastman (1990)
He contributed heavily to the use of photography in forensic science and established the world’s earliest crime laboratory (University of Lausanne Switzerland)
Dr. Rudolphe Archibald Reiss (1902)
He contributed heavily to the use of photography in forensic science and established the world’s earliest crime laboratory (University of Lausanne Switzerland)
Dr. Rudolphe Archibald Reiss (1902)
His method of reproducing colors photographically based on the phenomenon of interference, also known as Lippman Plate
Jonas Ferdinand Gabriel Lippmann (1908)
He developed a methof of photographic comparison of bullet and cartridge cases
Victor Baltazard (1910)
He introduced Polaroid - one step photography
Edwin H. Land (1947)
He invented the LASER, making holography
Dennis Gabor (1960)
He developed the first prototype for a digital camera.
Steven J. Sasson (1975)
