THE FOG THAT SURROUNDS THE BEGGININGS OF PHOTOGRAPHY


For those passionate about photography , young entrepreneurs who want to look for new opportunities and learn more about this art.

Here you can read a range of little advices from two amateur girl photographers.


"Photography, with its devices of slow motion and enlargement, reveals the secret. It is through photography that we first discover the existence of this  optical unconscious, just as we discover the instinctual unconscious through psychoanalysis."


Walter Benjamin.

Little history of photogrpagy.










The concept we have today about photography is very different from the impression it made in its beginning. Nowadays, having a camera is something so common, that sometimes it undervalues photography as an art consideration. It is important to know how this fascinating technique was created and developed, because proudly knowing the past is the primary way to create a great future . Thus, know the path it has taken since the daguerreotypes to the most modern digital cameras.
The process of developing a photography it is not now something personal and meticulous.

We can make hundreds of photos, we delete , edit, share and also repeat it changing the light and the mode of the camera. Then we download them on the computer and if we have been able to make a powerful image we only have to go to the shop near our house and pay a few euros for having it in paper. It is true that there are also people, professional or amateurs, but always passionate about photography who still prefers make this process on their own. But generally people choose this comfortable and affordable method.. just go to the shop.

This fact has distanced the photography from the concept of exclusive and unique art.

No wonder if that each piece was considered a gem, a little treasure, because the process of the birth of a photo was much harder, more meticulous and because of that more fascinating the results. Only a few privileged are able to create works of art with their cameras, while other shots are merely coincidences, not art.
