National Geographic: The Photographs (National Geographic Collectors)

Product Information

From the 1850s onwards, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert commissioned work from a number of photographers. These included Roger Fenton who photographed the royal family, Windsor Castle and the Crimean War, and J.J.E. Mayall, whose 1860 portraits of the Queen and Prince Albert became the first photographs of the royal family to be published and made available for sale to the general public. The work of many other photographers, such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Oscar Rejlander, Francis Bedford and Gustave Le Gray, was also collected. While Prince Albert’s principal interests lay with science and the arts, Queen Victoria was particularly keen to acquire portraits of people from all walks of life. Many of the photographic albums offer a fascinating portrait of society during Queen Victoria’s reign, from British and European royalty to the gardeners, cooks and seamstresses who worked for the Queen. There are also 44 photograph albums titled Portraits of Royal Children produced between 1848 and 1899 and a large number of albums relating to military officers and contemporary military conflicts such as the Afghan Wars and the Boer War.

Originating department Photography is one of the new media forms that changes perception and changes the structure of society. [68] Further unease has been caused around cameras in regards to desensitization. Fears that disturbing or explicit images are widely accessible to children and society at large have been raised. Particularly, photos of war and pornography are causing a stir. Sontag is concerned that "to photograph is to turn people into objects that can be symbolically possessed". Desensitization discussion goes hand in hand with debates about censored images. Sontag writes of her concern that the ability to censor pictures means the photographer has the ability to construct reality. [67] Brooke (1853).

According to Nazir Ahmed if only Ibn-Haitham's fellow-workers and students had been as alert as he, they might even have invented the art of photography since al-Haitham's experiments with convex and concave mirrors and his invention of the "pinhole camera" whereby the inverted image of a candle-flame is projected were among his many successes in experimentation. One might likewise almost claim that he had anticipated much that the nineteenth century Fechner did in experimentation with after-images.

It often requires great patience and considerable skill and command of the right photographic equipment.
