Photo Research: Art

For the second semester, I have chosen art as one of my choices for my subjects. In art, we are beginning to learn more about photography; the many different types and method in which a photo can be taken. For our task, we are to research about the methods that were given us and provide an insight and an almost summary of the method.  One of the first methods that I began to look at was Photogenic Drawing.
Also called a Salt Print, is a method in which required a prolonged exposure time in a camera so that a photogenic negative is produced. Which then after a negative has been created it can be used to create positive photogenic prints. A sheet of writing paper is washed with salt and dried; the other side is then sanitized with silver nitrate on one side. The sanitized side is then placed with direct contact to the negative glass printing frame. Then exposed, glass side up to sunlight up until the desired density of the print.

This was invented by William Henry Fox Talbot.
