Visual Culture - 20th Century Art Photography.



By the early 20th century, the Camera had become far more advanced. Things like faster film speed was developed, giving photographers a lot more room for creativity and capturing in less light thank before. Although nowhere near as advanced as now, this was seen to be groundbreaking. It was also becoming more accessible to people with less money.


Photographers were able to set up studios and invite the public in to have their portrait taken. Although still more for the upper-class, The industry was starting to get more accessible.

This was also the start of early Street Photography. Photographers didn't have to take a darkroom everywhere with them so the possibilities were much greater. You can see from the light trails from the cars and motion blur from the people that the cameras were still not as fast as today but a lot faster than the older 19th Century ones.
