The Image on the First Camera Negative
August 23rd, 2011
Perhaps, Toronto wedding photographer will not be of their profession nowadays without the works of William Henry Fox Talbot, a British scientist, in the field of photography. He invented the earliest method of photography, the “photogenic drawing,” as he called it. This involved covering a sheet of paper with light-sensitive chemicals and exposing it to light using a simple pinhole camera producing a paper negative to create a positive image. In prior tries, it became difficult for him to stop the paper from continuous darkening after light exposure and he became unsuccessful. The procedure was improved and became the basis for most modern negative-to-positive photography today.
