Historical Research

William Henry Fox Talbot

Fox developed the three primary elements of photography, developing, fixing and printing and accidently found out a lot about darkroom work and how we used it today. Fox was born on 11 February 1800 in Melbury, Dorset.

The image on the right is the only image Fox created on food. This image is very basic fruits we would see today but fruits such as the pineapple would have been very rare back then. I find the image interesting but his work on this particular image doesn't interest me. I however think this is because of the images being produced for food photography today is very interesting and fun and we have many cultures and many different beautiful looking fruits, vegetables, cakes and much more now to influence and help photographers to create such beautiful imagery.
