Mary Barrier was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. She loves
photography and is passionate about improving her skills as a freelance
photographer. She believes that in order to become an expert in her
field, it is important to have a working knowledge of the history of
photography.
Photography is an art form that has existed for centuries. The first camera was the camera obscura, which was used in the 11th century to cast images on the walls of darkened rooms. The image was formed by casting light through a pinhole. Scientists all over the world were fascinated with the idea of imposing images on solid materials and worked hard to find new ways to achieve this.
The
next innovation in photography occurred in the mid-18th century when
Professor J. Schulze mixed several chemicals together, and realized that
when the compound was exposed to the sun, it created a dark image on a
secondary material. These sun pictures remained popular throughout the
19th century. In the same century Louis Daguerre began to create images
on silver-plated copper. These images were then developed by applying
warm mercury to the silver iodide coated image. This style of
photography was immensely popular among photographers for years.
Modern photographers use either film cameras or digital cameras. Film was first developed in 1889 by Kodak, and remained the style of choice until the 1990s when digital cameras first came on the market. Mary Barrier of Texas enjoys studying the history of photography. She believes that by understanding different styles of photography, she can improve her craft.
