MPS 301 Lecture Notes - Salt Print, Documentary Photography, August Sander
Document Summary
History of its use and the principle of the photographic camera. The different ways that the history of photography has been constructed. The salted paper negative and the salted paper print did not have the sharpness or the ability to create multiple prints. This lead to the era of collodion and the wet plate. Each of the periods led to each other and bleed into each other through technique and technology. None of the people watching the event were recorded because of how long the exposure was. Due to the development of the gelatin negatives this allowed people to record and respond to images much faster. This started the stereotyping of portrait making . this meant that the cameras could have many lenses creating many print letting one sitting create many sellable prints. This was the start of simplifying the camera so that everyone could use the camera with just clicking the shutter and pointing the camera.
