Once upon a time, in the early 19th century, the world was introduced to a revolutionary invention that would forever change the way we capture and preserve moments: the photograph. It all began with the invention of the camera obscura, a device used since ancient times to project images onto surfaces. However, it wasn't until 1826 when a French inventor named Joseph Nicéphore Niépce successfully captured the first permanent photograph. Using a camera obscura and a pewter plate coated with bitumen of Judea, Niépce exposed the plate to light for several hours, producing a crude but groundbreaking image known as "View from the Window at Le Gras." Niépce's discovery sparked a wave of experimentation and innovation in the field of photography. His colleague, Louis Daguerre, further refined the process, introducing the daguerreotype in 1839. This method involved exposing a silver-coated copper plate to iodine vapor, then light, and finally developing the image with mercury vapor. Daguerre's invention led to the popularization of photography, with studios springing up across Europe and America. In the ensuing decades, photography evolved rapidly. In 1888, George Eastman introduced the Kodak camera, making photography accessible to the masses with its slogan, "You press the button, we do the rest." This innovation marked the beginning of amateur photography as we know it today. Throughout the 20th century, photography continued to advance with the introduction of new techniques and technologies. Color photography became widespread, followed by the digital revolution in the late 20th century, which transformed the medium once again. Digital cameras allowed for instant viewing and editing of images, revolutionizing the way we capture and share moments. Today, photography is an integral part of our lives, permeating every aspect of society. From capturing everyday moments on smartphones to creating stunning works of art, the photograph remains a #PhotographyHistory #Invention #CameraObscura #Niépce #Daguerreotype #KodakCamera #DigitalRevolution #Storytelling #Expression #MemoriesPreserved #19thCenturyInnovation #EvolutionOfPhotography #ArtOfCapturingMoments #TechnologyAndArt #PhotographyJourney

🌟 Unveiling Kirlian Photography: Capturing the Invisible! 📸 During a recent seminar, I had the pleasure of exploring the captivating world of Kirlian Photography, showcasing its incredible ability to capture ethereal energy fields that envelop objects. ✨ The Art and Science: Kirlian Photography, named after Semyon Kirlian, is a fascinating visual technique. It reveals "corona discharge" using high-voltage electricity, showcasing previously unseen auras or energy patterns around the subject. 🔍 Beyond the Visual: This technique transcends traditional photography, offering a peek into the invisible. Beyond mere images, it captures the energies surrounding living beings and objects, presenting a unique perspective on our world. 🔬 Applications and Exploration: From its origins in studying electrical phenomena, Kirlian Photography has expanded into diverse fields. It has found applications in alternative medicine, agriculture, and forensic science, continually evolving through ongoing research and experimentation. 🌌 The Quest for Understanding: While delving into Kirlian Photography during the seminar, we explored its historical significance, current applications, and the ongoing quest to deepen our understanding and refine its methodologies. Let's continue this intriguing journey into the unseen realms of Kirlian Photography together! 🌈🔮 #KirlianPhotography #EnergyFields #VisualExploration #SeminarInsights

Understanding Color in Photography: Using Color, Composition, and Exposure to Create Vivid Photos

Experimental light: the lasergrams of Philippe Vogelenzang, Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand — Light and shadow have played a key role in the experimental world of photography from the very start. Photograms, a cameraless photography technique in which objects are placed directly on light-sensitive material and then exposed to light, are often considered to be a direct link to the early days of photography, when the medium was in its infancy and artists and scientists were pushing the boundaries of what seemed possible. This traditional technique evolves with the introduction of lasergrams. Instead of conventional light, laser beams are used to capture the unseen interactions between light and matter. A fusion of art, technology and science. At Unseen, we introduce an exciting collaboration between three artists: Philippe Vogelenzang, Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand.

This in-camera photograph from the Individual Personae Collection is one image in a yearlong study that documents the diversity of the public collective. The Collection records persons in a single public space as they move within the location. With this project I wanted to capture the character of each individual without capturing detailed facial features to convey people are more than just their facial features as a form of identity. The full-body portraits document motion, fashion, and persona detailing the uniqueness of each person. Fundamentally, every person on the planet is a member of the public collective outside of their respective sanctuaries, and each a unique individual among the more than 8 billion on the globe. In an era of widening prejudices due to political polarization and racism worldwide, this Collection illustrates the diversity of the public domain and that we are all part of the human collective. #photography #portraitphotography #portraitcollection #photooftheday #photographyart #art #documentaryphotography #individualpersonae #individuals #characterart #collection #artcurators #photographycurators #museums #artexhibits #artcollectors #artbaselmiami #artbasel #humanity #persons #humandiversity #monograph

MML PHOTOGRAPHY WEBPAGE IS HERE. -------------------------------------- This is my new webpage where I explained why from Documentary Photography I came to Photo Art. It is very challenging and interesting. This is not a commercial website. I believe in a while I will build such a website. I need this for my current affairs #photography #documentaryphotography #photoart

How can photography help people better understand their environment amidst an era of rapid development and climate change? In the final episode of Widening the Lens, artists Edra Soto, Victoria Sambunaris, and Dionne Lee discuss how photography helps them bear witness to the constantly changing American landscape, and the ways in which art can help us move forward at this critical juncture. https://lnkd.in/gUsZCcEu

Kirlian photography, developed in the 1930s by Semyon Kirlian, purportedly captures auras or biofields around objects. In the 1970s, a controversial experiment claimed plants had auras, using Kirlian photography to show a "phantom leaf" aura after a leaf was cut. However, subsequent investigations, including recreations by others, found inconsistent results. Skeptics argue that such images could be artifacts of the photography process itself, such as moisture or electrical discharges, rather than evidence of a mystical aura. The original experiment's reliability was questioned, suggesting possible manipulation like double exposures. Therefore, while Kirlian photography remains intriguing for its visual effects, it hasn't scientifically proven the existence of auras around plants or any psychic phenomenon. Skepticism and critical evaluation are essential when interpreting such phenomena. #KirlianPhotography #PlantAura #Biofield #ScienceSkepticism #PhantomLeafExperiment #ScientificInquiry #ElectricalPhenomenon
