Build and Replicate The History Of Photography: The Camera 'Bellows' Project.
- The history of cameras traces back to ancient times when the camera obscura, a darkened room with a small hole allowing light to pass through, was used to project inverted images onto surfaces. In the 19th century, the development of photography accelerated with inventors like Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Daguerre creating the first practical photographic processes. The daguerreotype, introduced in 1839, marked a significant milestone as the first widely used method for capturing permanent images. Subsequent advancements, including flexible film and the Kodak Brownie camera in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, made photography more accessible to the public. The evolution continued with the transition from film to digital technology in the late 20th century, revolutionizing the way images are captured, stored, and shared in the modern era.
- Based loosely off early 20th century camera models, this model has practically a working model. I started working on this model around September of 2023 and have finished, to the best of my abilities at the moment, this somewhat functional replica. From a folding front to 40 Inch tripod, this model is sure to 'wow' the gallery. The bellows of the camera, usually foldable and crafted with leather, must be removed from the camera in order for it to "fold" in. In addition to it folding, the rear of the model opens revealing the inside of the bellows. A slide of film would sit on the open space with the rear door closed, thus allowing for the image to be captured using a forced opening and closing shutter.
Thank you for reading and checking on this project!
Prost!
