Module 3 Flashcards
A famous Greek philosopher who invented the first pinhole camera that was known later as Camera Obscura (Italian word for darkroom chamber) which is literally translated as Darkened Fox.
Aristotle (347-322 BC)
He was considered to be the one invented the camera.
Alhazen (965-1039)
He made used of the Camera Obscura and replaced the hole with a lens which made the image brighter and sharper.
He was the one who introduced the lens.
Jean Baptiste Forta
He finally concluded that Silver Nitrate is sensitive to light and capable of producing images.
Johann Henrich Schulze
He discovered that Silver Chloride is more sensitive than Silver Nitrate and thus, more capable of recording and producing images.
Thomas Wedgewood (1802)
By 1822, he claim some success, achieving what he called Points De Vue – smart images made by the Camera Obscura with more than eight hours exposure.
He took the world’s very first photograph called Heliography.
Joseph Nicephore Niepce
He invented the principle that Silver plate photograph and using the Daguerro type that produces one of a kind picture on metal which was presented by French Scientific Academy.
He invented the Daguerro type in Paris.
Louise Jacques Mande Daguerre (1838-1839)
When the American Civil War broke out, he was able to preserve the scene with the use of a camera.
Mathew B. Brandy
He is the Father of Modern Photography.
He invented the Calotype which produces a negative picture on paper, the light on the image was recorded as dark and dark as light.
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He coined the word Photography.
John F.W. Herschel
He pioneered the wet collodian process which took place of the Collotype known as colodian type process.
Frederick Scott Archer
He introduced the use of the lens in the camera.
Daniel Barbaro
An English Philosopher, Mathematician and Physicist who discovered and proved that the strongest light is white light.
He defended his theory by allowing a white light (sunlight) to pass through a prism thus refracting and diffracting the light onto its component parts.
Sir Isaac Newton (1666)
He successfully introduced the plate with gelatin. The roll film came and new brands of cameras with different lens and mechanism were placed in the market.
Maddaox (1884)
He popularized the small cheap portrait wherein anyone could afford a picture of himself or herself.
Andre Adulphe Eugene Disperi
He took the first Aerial photographs of Paris from a free balloon in 1858.
Nadar
He discovered the use of Hydroquinone as a developing agent in 1880 in England.
Sir William Abney
Introduced the use of roll film made of celluloid materials for use by a portable camera.
George Eastman
He discovered X-ray photography which later become the basis of Radiograph used by the doctors in measuring the heartbeat and to see the other structure of the body.
Wilhelm Roentgen (1895)
Used photographic portraits in printing.
D.O. Hill and Robert Adamson
He measured the speed of light in 1676. (186,000 miles per second)
Aloh Roemer (Denmark)
A British scientist who discovered the wavelength structure of light after 20 years of research.
Colour photographs could be formed using red, green and blue filters.
James Clark Maxwell
He introduced a process of negatives on glass using albumen as a binding medium.
Abel Niepce de Saint-Victor
He introduced a printing paper coated with albumen to achieve a glossy surface.
Louis Desirie Blanquart-Evard
He first advocated the use of photography for the identification of criminals and the documentation of evidence and crime scenes.
Odelbercht
He initiated anthropometric measurements for personal identification was also involved in various means of documentation by photography which developed into a fine science of Criminalistics when he photographed crime scenes and formulated a techniques of contact photography to demonstrate erasures on documents.
Alphonse Bertillon (1882)
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. R.A. Reis (1902) (Rudolph Archibald Reis)
He developed a method of photographic comparison of bullets and cartridge cases which act as an early foundation of the field of ballistics.
Victor Baltazard (1910)
He introduced Polaroid – one-step photography.
Edwin H. Land (1947)
He won the Nobel Laureate in Physics for his method of reproducing colors photographically based on the phenomenon of interference, also known as Lippman plate.
Gabriel Lippmann (1908) - Lippman plate
First constructed an enlarger.
D.A. Woodward (1857)
He made a few improvements to Woodward’s solar camera, and exhibited portraits almost at life size. Wothly’s solar camera was a monstrosity! The condenser had a diameter of 1 metre. The heat of the condensed rays of sun was such that one had to have water troughs built in.
Wothly
First ever reference to an enlarging process can be attributed to Draper. In 1840 he wrote: “Exposures are made with a very small camera on very small plates. They are subsequently enlarged to the required size in a larger camera on a rigid stand.
Draper (1840)
Griffin and Sons
An American Electrical Engineer who invented the digital camera.
Steven Sasson
