Research and development
pinhole photography was originally first invented as far back as the 4th century bc, it was used by greeks such as Aristotle and Euclid, it was used through the slits of wicker baskets or the crossing of tree leaves. it moved on alot over the centurys and around 1600 Giambattista della Porta added the first lens to the pinhole camera. it wasn't until 1850 when a scottish scientist, sir David Brewster actually took the first photograph with a pinhole camera. Pinhole cameras are usually homemade by the photographer, such as Justin Quinnell who created one of his to fit in his mouth to take pinhole photography from the view of his mouth.
Pinhole photography has helped technology to evolve, now we have digital photography it is much cheaper and faster to create photos, this is because we no longer have to use the chemicals to develop the photos and with digital photography all you have to do is upload it onto a computer. Also the quality of photography has developed and evolved a lot, there is much more definition in the photography. Since pinhole photography there has been other forms of creating and producing photography such as Polaroid photography which is now extinct as the company went bust, this is because there is no longer a need for Polaroid cameras as there are digital cameras. Polaroid cameras are expensive to run because you need to purchase the photographic sheets of paper and you cannot review what you’ve taken a photo of, whereas with digital photography and digital cameras you can review your photos before printing therefore saving money.
Since the evolution of technology and in particular photography it’s played a big part in the creation of video gaming and films etc. it’s mainly used for research, for example some destinations from the animated film up is taken from real life destinations in America, this is all part of the research process in film making, they would do this by going around capturing photos of interesting areas.
