Different types of photography

Modern photography gets its roots from the early chemical photography, which began in the 1820s. The French were pioneers of photography. The first permanent photograph was produced in 1826 by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce.

The term 'photography' was devised by French-Brazilian Hercules Florence in 1832. He called it 'photographie'.

There are many various forms and techniques of Photography. These include …

Portrait Photography ...

Louis DaguerrePortrait photography is a very popular and viable commercial industry all over the world. Many people visit photography studios to have professionally taken so they can then hang them in the family home. These might be special photographs to celebrate certain events, such as graduations or weddings.

Since Photography began, portrait photography has been popular. This popularity was exasperated in the middle of the 19th century when a French chemist, named Louis J.M. Daguerre, invented the daguerreotype. This was a very inexpensive method of producing top-quality portrait photographs. Basically, a silver and chalk mixture darkens when exposed to light. Hence, Photography studios sprang up in cities all over the world.




Aerial Photography ...

The use of aerial photography for military purposes was expanded during World War I by aviators such as Fred Zinn, an American aviator who flew with the French forces.

Zinn was one of the first aviators to photograph enemy troop positions from the air. This had only previously been done from manned balloons, but they were susceptible to enemy fire.

Panoramic Photography ...

Panoramic photographyPhotography soon came to replace painting as the most common method for creating wide views. Not long after the introduction of the Daguerreotype in 1839, photographers began assembling multiple images of a view and then stitching it together to become a single wide image.

The word panoramic was originally used by the Irish painter Robert Barker to describe his panoramic paintings of Edinburgh.

Modern day digital cameras do this automatically for the photographer.
