Article 2 final
History of photography
In 2017 photography takes a big part in teenager’s lives. For
example; Instagram, Facebook or snapchat, all these apps that teenagers use every
day, associates with photography. That’s why I’m going to write about history of
photography to make my young audience understand where it came from.
The first ever photography studio in east London opened in Stepney
in the early 1850s. I know what would you say, “That was ages ago” and yes, you’re
right. It was. And only in 1900 photography became accessible to everyone. After
world war photographs start showing changing life in East London, taking
photographs of bomb sites, demolition and new housing. They also start
documenting child poverty and slum housing, and used to use in campaigns.
At that time photographs use to take pictures of changing London,
but East London is still changing every day. Local people still photograph
their communities and streets. The East London has gone from being the
outsiders to hipster and luxury flats.
The photographers Polly Braden and David Company explored River
Lea and captured area in 2004 and 2005. River Lea which runs from Hertfordshire
to London and joins Thames River. To, photograph they used bike armed with a
camera and a light meter. Their project includes documentary and street art. They
said that there are major changes in east London.
