From Documentary Photography to Industrial Photography History of Imaging



Carl Hermann Meyer (1880-1970)
The Vienna Generation - This process was optical



Photography’s earliest incarnation, the Daguerreotype, required an exposure time of about thirty seconds.
The invention of the camera spurred an outright revolution in the way that portraiture, and art as a whole,
was conceived by the world.

The landscape photographs and eratic portraits do seem to suggest a close relationship between photographer,
objects and subjects, why the photographs have a special power, captured that moment
... that will never come again.

Photojournalism had to wait before its realization. The first process was optical. Like their counterparts today, photographers work was something which both learned from, and reacted against, the creativity of the artist
and the neutrality of the camera.

Carl Meyer changed the direction - from the documentary photography to industrial photography
- that means technical, architectural and industrial demands - a quite high risk at that time (1911).
