Heinrich Kühn :: Portrait of the Artist’s Son, Walter, ca. 1905 / source
Heinrich Kühn was one of the most influential amateur photographers in Vienna. Careful attention is paid to the repetition of circular shapes – Walter’s glasses, hat, coat buttons – that punctuate the broader expanses of dark or light earth-toned patches of colour. The tone in the photograph is the result of a complex printing process in which pigment was adhered to the surface of the paper through exposure to light.

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
