THE STORY IN PHOTOGRAPHY
The invention of photography was not the work of a single
person nor was it done in a single day: dozens of inventors
have contributed to this invention, which today continues to
improve with new camera models, more compact and of better
quality.
The first camera was not developed until the 19th century, but
before that other devices had been invented that attempted to
capture the image on a surface.
The most important was the camera obscura, a device that
was used for centuries for entertainment.
It is a closed box with a small hole through which light enters.
This light projects the image from the outside to the inside of The first camera was not invented until years later.

invention was named the daguerreotype.
Daguerre intended to improve the dark box and
shorten the process, since with Nicéphore Niépce's
system the exposure lasted hours before the bitumen
hardened.
In parallel, the British scientist Henry Fox Talbot
experimented with other materials. Just a few days
after the presentation of the daguerreotype he
announced that he had discovered light-sensitive
paper.
The main advantage of this system, called a calotype,
is that the paper becomes a negative of the image
that can be used to make copies of the photograph.

The objective is basically a set of converging and diverging lenses that directs the light beams
towards the sensor of the digital camera (or towards a photosensitive support such as film in
the case of analog photography).
Fisheye: This is the name given to those extremely angular lenses that exceed 180º of vision.
Wide angle: This includes lenses with focal lengths between 8 mm and 25 mm, which cover viewing
angles from 180º to 60º.
Normal or “Standard”: We consider “normal” those lenses that range from 25 to 65 mm
By covering a viewing angle of between 60º and 25º, they are quite similar to human vision and hence
their name.
Telephoto lens: These lenses, which would range from 60 to 160 millimeters, will allow us to focus a
lot of attention on the scene since their angle of view has been considerably reduced: it ranges from
25º to 10º
Super Telephoto: Super telephoto lenses, those whose focal length ranges from 160 to 600 mm and
cover viewing angles of 10º to 2º.

The exposure triangle is an analogy
to explain the main elements that
affect exposure in a photograph:
aperture, shutter speed and ISO; and
the way in which these elements are
related.
ISO
TRIANGLE
ISO: is the sensitivity of the sensor to light. The higher the ISO value we choose, the
more sensitive our camera sensor will become to light and, therefore, it will capture
more light.
Aperture: is the size of the diaphragm; that is, the hole inside the objective or lens that
allows light to enter. The larger the aperture, the more light will enter and be recorded
on the camera.
Shutter speed (or shooting speed): It is the time during which the camera remains open
recording the light or photo. Generally, it is fractions of a second, which is how long a
shot lasts, but it can be longer. In fact, at slower shooting speeds, more light enters the
camera.

PHOTOGRAPHS
BLACK AND WHITE
Black and white images allow us to express something, they have a different intention
than color images. We observe images whose purpose is to transmit strength,
aggressiveness and others whose intensity is different, transmit kindness, sadness or
melancholy.
It is a photographic genre in which the
image is characterized by the absence
of color. This type of photography is
based, however, on tones that range
from white to black through medium
tones (gray). That's why you can also
hear about it as monochrome or
grayscale photography.
Until the 1970s , black and white photographs were the standard for photographic
shooting at that time. Many forms of visual technology have initially been developed in
black and white and have gradually evolved to include color. The term "black and white"
is used, even when the visual technologies in question sometimes include various shades
of gray in addition to black and white, or when white and shades of a single color, such
as sepia, are used.

FAN
HO
Nicknamed “The Grandmaster,” Fan-Ho was
born in Shanghai in 1931 and began taking
photography at the age of 14 when his father
gave him a Rolleiflex binocular reflex (TLR)
camera. He moved to Hong Kong in 1949
where he took photographs of the streets and
alleys, markets and docks.
His photographs from the 1950s and 1960s are
the most iconic ever taken of Hong Kong.
“A master of chiaroscuro, Ho captured with
dramatic vision the bustling streets of Hong
Kong in vivid meditative tableaus populated by
solitary figures.”
This photographer recommended. “First find the
ideal place. Then be patient to find the right
subject that arouses interest, even if it is a
simple cat. You must capture the precise
moment that includes the spirit, the essence,
the soul of the person.”
Looking at Fan-Ho's photographs is a whole
lesson in how to take great street photographs.
He was nominated eight times among the top
10 photographers in the world by the
Photographic Society of America; won more
than 300 international awards since 1956; He
was named Fellow of the Photographic Society
of America, the Royal Society of Arts and other
professional groups in Germany, France, Italy,
Belgium, Brazil, Argentina and Singapore. He
was also a film director, made 24 films and
received three “Official Selection” at Cannes.

Ignacio López Bocanegra, better known as
Nacho López ( Tampico , Tamaulipas , 1923 –
Mexico City , 1986 ) was a Mexican
photographer , an important figure in the
photographic journalism of that country in the
20th century.
He almost rejected the creation of images that
portrayed an exotic Mexico and preferred
photography of ordinary people of Mexico City
to that of the political and social elite. He is
credited with being the first in Mexico to work
with photographic series, which he called
“photo essays” made to be published in weekly
illustrated magazines in the country. About half
of his photographs were of situations organized
by López, designed to capture the reactions of
those present at the event. Although he was
active as a photojournalist for less than a
decade in the 1950s, he was an influence on
the generations of photojournalists who
followed him, and left a collection of
approximately 33,000 images preserved today
in the Nacho López Fund of the National Photo
Library of Mexico.

In traditional color theory
(used in paint and
pigments), primary colors
are the 3 pigment colors
that cannot be mixed or
formed by any
combination of other
colors.
We represent them on a
color wheel of colors. The
rest of the colors are derived
from these three main ones.
COLORS
Colors are emotions, feelings, moods, they
show our personality and each of them has a
deeper meaning than most people know or
think they know.
The sensations that colors give us are determined by the culture in which we have grown
up. Of course, our experiences and knowledge mean that each one has a different way of
understanding each color.

HARD
AND
SOFT
Many factors affect the hardness or
softness of a light source, but many
mistakenly think that the diffusers
applied to the light source are the main
reason. Actually, it's simpler than that.
The main reason that makes a light
hard or soft is the size relationship
between the light source and what we photograph.
Distance plays a very important role, since the further we move our light point from our
subject the more we dwarf the apparent size of the light and therefore make the light
harder.

In relation to colors, the catalog is greatly influenced by the landscapes of the northern hemisphere,
especially because in many countries in the southern hemisphere the landscapes do not usually change

HEMEROSCOPIUM
HOUSE
This building, designed by architect Antón
García-Abril (Madrid, 1969) in the Madrid
town of Las Rozas, plays with structures
placed in an apparently unstable balance. The
order in which they are stacked creates a
helix and develops upwards into a sequence
of elements that become lighter as the
structure grows. The residence, designed by
the also architect of La Casa del Lector in
Matadero Madrid, becomes airy, light,
transparent and the space that is kept inside
flows with life. The apparent simplicity of
the structure's joints required the
development of complex calculations.
“It took us a year to design, but only seven
days to build the structure,” he explains.
The calculation of the structure took more than a year, on the contrary the construction and
assembly took only 7 days. The latter thanks to the prefabricated elements. The work was built
practically with concrete under criteria of economy and durability. Each room is designed to obtain
natural lighting, open to a patio and the central pool, which is planned as a central element in the
design. A second pool is located on the U-beam above ground level which meets the Olympic length.
On the other hand, the use of glass was designed to avoid visual barriers between interior and
exterior.
