images that haunt us
Robert Demachy :: Mignon, 1900 / source: el hurgador
“In 1894
Demachy
began to use the gum bichromate printing process recently introduced by A. Rouillé-Ladevèze at the Paris Salon. He developed a style that relied upon heavy manipulation of the image both during the development of the negative and again while printing.” quoted from source.
“I wear C.T. Smith’s shoes”. Anonymous photographer, USA, ca. 1900 / via lumiere des roses
Jules Richard :: female Nudes at
L’Atrium, a studio constructed for the purpose of receiving and photographing young women. The Greek theme was employed to give otherwise pornographic images (by the standards of their time) an air of artistic acceptability. Between 1900′s-1920′s / sources: Early French Stereo Nude photography on the domain of Jules Richard and Ignomini
Heinrich Kühn :: Impressionist photographs, circa 1900′s-1910′s.
Kühn with Franz Staeble developed a new lens known as Kuhn Anachromat, which from 1928 to 1990 was issued under the name of Rodenstock lenses Imagon. The aim was to produce a soft scattering pattern, with the effect of artistic blur, similar in style to the paintings of the Impressionists. / src: franz.blogspot.com
