On 4 January 1829 Niépce agreed to go into partnership with Louis Daguerre . Niépce died only four years later, but Daguerre continued to experiment. Soon he had discovered a way of developing photographic plates, a process which greatly reduced the exposure time from eight hours down to half an hour. He also discovered that an image could be made permanent by immersing it in salt.
Today's photographic technology continues to advance at ever increasing rates. Throughout the years, Germany and France have continued to influence the changes in modern photography. From Bauhaus to Dada and beyond, both countries have produced artists that have made instrumental contributions to the art.
The aim of this website is bring together information on these contributions in one location. This website is the Elementary German I project of Laura Paton, a student at the Community College of Rhode Island.
