Daguerreotype

Louis Daguerre created the Daguerreotype image process in 1837. The process he created was later released for general use in 1839. During the year 1839 a man named Samuel Morse brought this process to the United States. Because this process wasn’t patented in the United States, it was available for the whole public to use. This caused people to just start opening up cheap studios to make some quick and easy money. People were taking a process that was considered an “art” and turning it into something

In 1839, Herschel was the first to use a new product, sodium thiosulphate, to fix images forever. This was later implemented by Fox Talbot and then Daguerre for his own daguerreotype. In 1851 Scott Archer learnt that you could use collodion -soluble guncotton dissolved in a mixture of ether and alcohol- to attach solver compounds to glass, the negative/positive process became dominate. The photographer would have to prepare the collodion glass plates and expose them while they were still wet. Processing

Personally, the most significant aspects of the photograph lie in its beginning when it all first started with the daguerreotypes and the calotype that opened the world of photography which have lead the world to be what it is now. The first widely usable photographic processes that was introduced to the public were the daguerreotype and the calotype. There were precedents before the daguerreotype and calotype but it wasn’t commercially used and was more close to a research rather than an art form. Each

In 1855, Brady started using Ambrotypes, it was cheaper than the Daguerreotype, and it was produced on a silver-coated sheet of glass. Matthew B. Brady employed Alexander Gardner a Scotsman, in 1856. Gardner was skilled in the paper print process. Gardner and Brady came up with Imperials images that could be printed repeatedly

and two men to thank for bringing about photographs using two types of methods; Daguerreotypes and Calotypes. The attempts at creating convincing photos were futile and primitive at best. It was not until a Frenchman Louis Jacques Mane Daguerre and Englishman Briton William Henry Fox Talbot, pioneers of photography created Daguerreotypes and Calotypes did we have our first successful methods of photography. Daguerreotypes involved using a metal plate and chemicals in our to retrieve the image. Calotypes

Introduction The present world of entertainment production is unlike what was conceive in the past. Giddens believed that the world we live in today is filled with intense puzzling revolution that differ vastly as compared to the numerous generations altogether. Today, entertainment is readily available at our finger tips, ranging from computers, iPads and even right down to our smartphones in our pockets. However, things are very diverse back then, before the dawn of the internet and the Information

process he invented called the Calotype. Nonetheless, people of their time were more fascinated by Daguerre's work and that made him more popular. Maybe this was because Daguerre knew how to market his Daguerreotypes in a more efficient way than Talbot did for his Calotypes. Or were Daguerreotypes simply more appealing? In this paper, I will argue that although Daguerre and Fox Talbot are both equally great inventors of their time, contributing greatly to the development of photography as we know

They were both working together to make the first permanent image. Daguerre is known for his invention, the daguerreotype. A daguerreotype was the first commercially successful photographic process and was publicated. It was photo made on a silver surface sensitized with iodine was developed by exposure to mercury vapor. This is also known as the “daguerreian process.” In

to be black from this expose to light. Louis Daguerre, who was partnered with Niépce, decided to make his own photographic process in 1839. He called this process the “Daguerreotype” (Photography). These images were created on copper plates that were coated with a mixture of silver compounds and iodine. However, the Daguerreotype was considered to be very dangerous since mercury was very poisonous to any photographer using this process. Another fault in
