The Social History Of Photography Chapter 1 Summary
Chapter Summary: Seizing the Light
The Social History of Photography begins with talking about the relative importance of different ‘artists’ and their desire for visual representation of their works by using lights and chemical reactions. Chapter one continues to speak of the importance of a multitude of individuals, from the actual beginning of the documented art of Photography. It speaks of the importance of many individuals, from Mathematicians, “Photographers”, “Lithographers”, Inventors, Chemists and the like. Thus creating the foundation for modern Photography.

Further improvements to the Camera Obscura, involved attaching a bi convex lens to said device, by improvements made by Girolamo Cardano. Soon to be furthered by Daniele Barbaro in 1568 when fitted a diaphragm to the bi convex lens, depth of the image could be controlled by the focal lens. 1611 noted the first proto portable camera, invented by Johannes Kepler. By the 18th century, demand for picture making was increased with the familiarity of photography growing in the upper class and finally finding its way into the middle class. With interesting paradoxical devices like the camera lucida leading the way, the term lime light was coined for use in theater, the Kaleidoscope, and the Thaumatrope (Wonder Turner!). People emerged to further the progress to what we now call “Photography”, by creating the first permanent image with the action of light. Niepce, developed the first system to do this early in the 19th century among work with his brother he progressed into a quite controversial piece of photographical history with which the date of his first actual image was debated on being finished by 1822-24-26-27, although his son documented it being 1824. 1825 Daguerre improved his relevancy in
