The first commercially successful photographic process was announced in 1839, the result of over a decade of experimentation by Louis Daguerre and Nicéphore Niépce. Unfortunately, Niépce died before the daguerreotype process was realized, and is best known for his invention of the heliograph, the process by which the “first photograph” was made in 1826. Daguerreotypes are sharply defined, highly reflective, one-of-a-kind photographs on silver-coated copper plates, usually packaged behind glass and kept in protective cases. The daguerreotype process is demonstrated in this chapter.

So interesting even to this day. Back in the late 1990s I had the pleasure of participating in Eastman House historic process workshops. Daguerreotype, albumen, etc. To this day the images made during these workshops are among my most prized photographic possessions.
I remember seeing my first strip of contacts develop. Seeing that image appear was a moment I will never forget. Must have been 10 or 11 in a tiny darkroom my dad built for me.
How they felt back then when they created the first images ever must have been out of this world.
They must've felt like gods.
This is the most understandable explanation of the daguerreotype process I've seen yet. Thank you!!
This is so amazing . To be able to see a street from the 1840's is a rush . To see Robert Cornelius self portrait from 1839 is incredible . Such Incredibles minds with such a driven purpose :) learning about this stuff is so interesting . The entire process , learning of it and those who wanted to capture a moment in time is special .
Louis Daguerre was a French painter who created 'Daguerreotypes', a process that gave portraits a sharp reflective style, like a mirror.
Now you’re totally stuck in the retro-zone. Sad-face
Very good Victoria! The Daguerrian process brought out fine detail in people's faces making them extremely popular from the 1800s onward.

Very good, Victoria!
I'm not into "capturing" your interest. That's kind of sick, isn't it?
Now, Max, since you've captured our interest and clearly want to join the conversation, can you please tell us the name of the process that gave birth to the first self-portraits?
I LOVE this video. I show it to my students in Digital Art during their photo editing unit so they know here photography comes from!
Thank you so much for this series. Who knew!! It is amazing to listen to the details of early photography!1
Photos were a lot work. Thank God these were done.
Excellent video and an excellent series..... wish they were just a bit longer!
Thank you for this amazing video :)
A fabulous discovery ❤️
Would love to see some Grant Romer! His lecture, on TH-cam, in Atlanta some 10 years ago was a throwback to the 19th century Lyceum---fabulous! How anyone figured this out in the beginning is beyond my comprehension.
Watched this for my honors English class. Pretty cool.
France gave birth to countless inventions, researchers and pionneers. Question is: how did you get possession of those unique pieces that should belong to a French museum?
Incredible
amazing
this is so cool
Daguerreotypes have a "steampunk" feeling about them to me. It is certainly a process that belongs in the 19th century, a time that seems like a blend of science,magic and adventure.
They are also very beautiful in a way in which modern photography seems almost completely lacking.
Largest collection of Daguerreotypes in the world and they are all stored???? They should be on display for people to see them.
Thank you Louis Daguerre from France who invented photography.
very interesting
Of course developing images in warm mercury vapour was not without hazard.
Just came to watch this to escape the retro zone.
Sad face.
SOOO COOL

Photography makes me feel alive ,the same way that gambling make others feel alive.
who would've thought that a game would get me to learn history
YOU CAME HERE AFTER STARTING LIFE IS STRANGE?
It's incredible that amount of views on this video, no million views and are billions smart phones with camera's now.
Man, Life is Strange.
Hella strange.
Shaka brah
Wowser
wat
Uh :(, I'm here because I wanted to learn about this.... I wonder what would have happened if photography had been invented earlier? We would have photos from the regency era, from the independence of the Spanish colonies in Latin America.... We would know how historical characters really looked like, we could see people in their daily lives, seeing how they really were... it would be fascinating to have these inventions before, thanks to Nicephore and Daguerre, and many other people who collaborated in the invention of photography, we can enjoy the photos.
Was their a method that required egg whites to preserve the image? I have been searching the internet for something i thought i had heard in art class decades ago.
Photographic paper was made using egg whites called "albumen". Search "albumen print". It was a joint effort between the photographers and the chickens
@@shuttlefeather lol I had to reread the last sentence 🤣
2:11 is that an actual photography/daguerreotype? if so what is this place?
no its a painting.
No it's not a painting, it's an engraving or a pastel on paper photographed !
i still dont get how it works .
If one were to find a Daguerreotype photographer, what sort of price would you expect to pay for a modern, commissioned portrait, say 8" squarish?
8” square is huge for a daguerreotype. The work and time polishing goes up exponentially. Chuck Close and Jerry Spagnoli are about the only people I can think of who might work that big. The man to ask re costs is Mike Robinson (seen in this video). It won’t be cheap…
Read the NEW book HISTORICAL HEADSTONES due out late October, 2018. It contains a new unknown image of louis Daguerre c.1839 & William Valentine who studied under him! You WILL be glad you did!
I just found two of these frames at a garage sale
Love your videos. I wish the elephant head was not used as the example...I show these videos to my high school students, but not this one...it's too horrific. I remember going to the Eastman House as a kid and being haunted by the animals...especially the elephants. If you ever decided to edit this I would be so grateful! Just a thought...
Hi Robyn, there are no plans to update these videos at the moment. George Eastman, was a big game hunter. He went to Africa twice to photograph, film, and hunt big game. This was typical of wealthy men of his time, like Theodore Roosevelt and others. As curators and historians, our job is to tell the story of our historic sites as accurately as possible, and not to gloss over or rewrite its history. However, you should also know that the elephant in his Conservatory is a reproduction of the original one he hung there; it is made of fiberglass, wood, and paint.
@@GeorgeEastmanMuseum I thought that looked fake! That is so good to know. I understand that we should not gloss over history, but this video is about a photographic process, not George Eastman. Anyway, thanks for your response--makes me feel better to show it to my students (I run an elephant NGO as well). I love these videos--thanks so much for making them. All the best. :-)
George Eastman website is having problems with their servers.At this moment it won't up laod
I want to be friends with everybody who made a Life is strange reference here XD
Max & Chloe Deguerreotype plz
i wanna meme this video up
now we can easily take photos with our phones
Mr Jefferson brought me here after being in the darkroom
ThePhreakass this is what I was hoping to find in the comments
ThePhreakass Wowsers.
who gives a rat what brought you here, dumbed down smart phone generation !
@@goognamgoognw6637 awwww...bayotgagobogoinutilinatayka
Me too XD
"except England" that is because Daguerre had started another approach with the Royal society in London
So, it was ok in Scotland?
Il s'est passé quoi au juste entre Daguerre et les Anglais ? Merci.
@@tonywhite383 well Scotland is not england
Kinda.. Daguerre had already done a patent licence deal with Richard Beard
CMN 396 woot
The elephant head is fake, right?
Yes. Reproduction...
¡¡¡ algunos de sus empleados NO usan Guantes !!!
0:38 someone knows who is the black woman?
John Mulaney
I wonder what % of Portland hipsters already have a Daguerreotype of themselves?
i came from dr. stone
too bad I came from Life is Strange
How many times can you talk about Walter Benjamin's concept of the aura without actually mentioning the word "aura?"
The Daguerreotype - Photographic Processes Series - Chapter 2 of 12 0551am 5.1.24 i can feel the ire and angst of the digitally hyperactive, as they seek to comprehend the facts of the matter - of some dude taking all that time and effort to create a fuzzy or blurred or hazy or patchy daguerreotype image. ummmmmmmm, anti english sentiments went into promoting that process. perhaps the english or british had suggested the idea was their own as said idea was eaten up by the Europeans...?................. as much as coming down the hill to contemplate the idea of this process appeals. the hermit refuses to pay the french man's stinking toll.
What???
@@peterrenn6341 ???
2:25 Actually he's not Daguerre. He's a Turkish singer, Ibrahim Tatlises. search google, thank me later.
No, it is Daguerre and not even similar to Tatlises.
😂
pas de liberté pour l'Angleterre, car Daguerre avant de vendre son procédé au gouvernement français, avait déjà conclu un accord avec les Anglais pour reproduire son invention.
largest collection stored in a closet, yu got to be kidding,
quelle honte pourquoi ne pas l'exposer???
1:12 That's Putin!
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Screw England I guess... Pay up. ..
Not quite, though it’s easy to get to that idea. Actually Daguerre was honouring a previous licensing deal he’d already made with the Englishman Richard Beard.
