Photography (Creative Media) - Capture

For this part of capture we have to compare and contrast two photographers one from past and one from present.To present this I will put this in my blog and adapt it into my journal so it blends in with my A/S work. The two photographers I have chosen to use are called Louis Daguerre and

We started this project today and so far I have found out that a camera obscurer is a Latin word for a darkened room or darkened object. A Camera Obscurer works by a dark box or room with a small hole letting light through which then projects an image onto a surface. It is produced on the surface upside down and back to front. It is used to produce images of objects.

A daguerreotype is an early type of photograph produced by Louis Daguerre. A daguerreotype is a picture taken straight onto a mirrored piece of metal. When a portrait of a person has been taken this way it looks as though they are right there, even though they could have died 100 years ago. Its so amazing how it looks like that.
