==== We are, namely Danabaev Nuriddin, Denislamova Asya and Shohimardonova Mohichehra, members of Art group. We worked together in order to make a project on Integrated Skills. The topic itself is very broad, that’s why we had to choose only one field of Art. Having discussed, we decided to choose “Photography as type of Art”. You can ask why we have chosen exactly “Photography”. We will answer that because of its popularity and beauty. ==== ==== In the beginning we divided our fields. By word ‘fields’ I mean, that each of us had to be responsible for definite type of information.We divided the whole project into two parts: history of Photography and types of Photography. The second part of project we divided into two small parts. ==== ==== Nuriddin told us that he became interested in the history of Photography, and he wanted to gather information on this topic. To tell the truth, he made a great job and found fascinating articles about history of photography. He also found information about invention and inventors of first camera and photos. ====  History of Cameras and photography is very interesting. Before the invention of photographic processes there was no way to preserve the images produced by cameras apart from manually tracing them. The earliest cameras were room-sized, with space for one or more people inside. The first camera that was portable enough to be practical for photography was built by Johaan Zahn in 1865, though it would be almost 150 years before such an application was possible. Although the foundation of photography date back as far as the ancient Romans, the history of cameras starts in the seventeenth century. French inventor Nicephore Niepce produced the first permanent image in the history of photography. Niepce used a camera obscura and paper coated with photosensitive chemicals. The exposure time necessary to capture this historic first image was a staggering eight hours. ==== In 1829, Niepce partnered up with Louis Daguerre. After Niepce's death in 1833, Daguerre continued the research he and Niepce had begun. Through his continued efforts, Daguerre succeeded in reducing exposure time to a mere half hour. He also discovered that immersing images in salt would render the image permanent. Daguerre named his re-invention of the camera obscura the daguerrotype and sold the rights to the French government in 1839. ==== ==== "Dagueromania" exploded in Europe and the USA, where permanent images on glass and metal became popular. However, while reproducing images with the daguerrotype was popular, this new model could make only one image and not multiple copies. ==== ==== Even as Daguerrotypes became popular, the next step in the histroy of cameras was already underway. in 1835, Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot created the first paper negative. Nine years later 1n 1844, Talbot patented the Calotype. Although the Daguerrotype produced better quality images than the Calotype, Talbot's invention could produce multiple copies from a single negative. Because the exposuretimes for both the Daguerrotype and Calotype were long, faster exposure times were the next step in the history of cameras. this became a reality with Frederick Scott Archer's Collodion photograph in 1851. The Collodion process reduced exposure time to a mere three seconds. If we want to continue, its history is endless. ==== ==== The history of cameras and photography is ongoing with innovations appearing regularly. With the digital camera, amateur and photographer can now take multiple pictures and view them almost instantly. Even underwater cameras are now affordable options for the general public. Innovation and necessity have driven the history of photography and cameras. With the vast knowledge of photographic techniques available today, further innovations can be expected in the future. ====  Mohichehra and I (Asya), we took "Types of photography". Mohichehra said that as the first photos were black-and-white, she wanted to make a research about that type of photography and its representatives. //====// ==== As Asya mentioned, I (Mohichehra) made a research work on black and white photography. Why did I choose this topic? Everything has its own history, as for photography, black and white photography was the first. ====

//__**The best known Black and white photographer was Ansel Adams.**__//

He was born in 1902, February 20, in the Western Addition of San Francisco.He was an only child, and was named after his uncle Ansel Easton. He took his first photos in Yosemite National Park (situated in the USA) in 1916. His first camera was a "Kodak Brownie". His first photographs were published in 1921. In 1927 he made his first portfolio. In 1930 Taos Pueblo, Adams second portfolio, was published with text by writer Mary Austin. Through a friend with Washington connections, Adams was able to put on his first solo museum exbition at the Smithsonian Institution in 1931, featuring 60 prints taken in the High Sierra. 1933 he opened his own Art and Photogtaphy Gallery in San Francisco. He made thousands of photographs,such as "New Mexico" "Moonrise" "Hernandez" and etc. He reminded to photographers "It is easy to take a photo, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than is any other art medium". In 1952 Adams was one of the founders of the magazine Aperture, which was intended as a serious journal of photography showcasing its best practitioners and newest innovations. He died on April 22, 1984, at the age of 82, by cancer. When he died he left behind his wife, two children ( Michael born August 1933, Anne born 1935) and five grandchildren. The Minarets Wilderness in the Inyo National Park was renamed the Ansel Adams Wilderness in 1985 in his honor. Mount Ansel Adams,an 11,760 ft (3,580 m) peak in the Sierra Neveda, was named for him in 1985.The full archive work of Ansel Adams is located at the Center for Creative Photography (CCP) at the University of Arizona in Tucson. So,only shades of black and white can do wonders in the creative art. Black and white digital photography can make the world looks completely diffirent from the reality.



I(Asya) showed an interest in Fashion photography.Good-looking models, unusual atmosphere, different fashionable clothes and accessories seemed captivating for me. Even these photographs appear only in magazines, I think this is an Art, which deserves praise. Different photographers can show us the same model in various environments and atmosphere. Each photographer has his own style. The most famous fashion photographer was Richard Avedon. He took photos of many famous people. His style was amazing! He tried to make a subject he photographed easy to understand for audience. He created true, intimate and lasting photographs.

- //This is Richard Avedon//

//Here is photos made by R.Avedon//



So, we knew so much information while making this project. Moreover, we tried to work in a team. We attempted to listen to each others' opinions, support and help each other, if something was going wrong. That's why it was very useful work, even it wasn't so easy. :)
