Helmar Lerski (18 February 1871, in Strasbourg – 19 September 1956, in Zürich) was a photographer who laid some of the foundations of modern photography. His works are on display in the USA, Germany, Israel and Switzerland. He focused mainly on portraits and the technique of photography with mirrors. His birth name was Israel Schmuklerski.
Amorphous's recent projects use distortion mirror boards created with reflective material. In her series Glass Houses, she appears in a series of surreal and distorted self-portraits which look as if they were submerged in water. [13] Of the series, Lancia Trendvisions wrote: "The mirror is just a surface. Exactly like the photographs that ...
Many large format cameras present the image of the scene being photographed as a flipped image through their viewfinders. Some photographers regard this as a beneficial feature, as the unfamiliarity of the format allows them to compose the elements of the picture properly without being distracted by the actual contents of the scene.
She began making photographic self-portraits as early as 1912 (aged 18), and continued taking images of herself throughout the 1930s. Around 1914, she changed her name to Claude Cahun, after having previously used the names Claude Courlis (after the curlew ) and Daniel Douglas (after Lord Alfred Douglas ).
Pinhead mirror technology was protected under US patent 4,948,211 - "Method and Apparatus for Optical Imaging Using a Small, Flat Reflecting Surface" until the patent expired in 2009. Disco balls can be used as pinhead mirrors to project solar images. The math behind them is the same as for a square pinhole.
In geometry, the mirror image of an object or two-dimensional figure is the virtual image formed by reflection in a plane mirror; it is of the same size as the original object, yet different, unless the object or figure has reflection symmetry (also known as a P-symmetry).
It did not take long for photographers to exploit the combination of the two: many pictures of nude females were produced by the commercial studios in the 1850s-1860s. [17] A creative take on the mirror and photography belongs to Lady Clementina Hawarden: the mirror is used to reflect the camera, not the subject. [17]
Real images can be produced by concave mirrors and converging lenses, only if the object is placed further away from the mirror/lens than the focal point, and this real image is inverted. As the object approaches the focal point the image approaches infinity, and when the object passes the focal point the image becomes virtual and is not ...
