1. The chemistry of
photography from classical
to digital technologies
Danna Carolina Vega Gómez

2. Abstract

3. Problem :
How do the silver halides in
photography arise to
develop of wet chemistry in
the digital photography
changing the paper structure
of the photography?

4. Justification

5. Type of investigation :
• Descriptive Investigation
VS

6. General Objective
• To describe the way the
chemistry had develop
with the
technology, showing
how the structure of the
paper print in
photography had change
with pass of paper with
silver halides, to a
different use of wet
chemistry in a inkjet
paper.

7. Specific Objectives
2.2.1 Paper print with silver
halide in photography.
2.2.2 Inkjet paper in
photography.
2.2.3 Technology involved at
the evolution and change in
the application of chemistry in
photography.

Interview
• 1.How does the change in the disclosure of
To: Pedro Duque photography of silver halide paper to digital
Academic Training: printing has had an impact on the design of :
Magister Universidad Nacional a) Photographic equipment (cameras and other
De Colombia - Sede Bogotá equipment)?
Facultad de Arte y Arquitectura b) In the photography itself?
de2000 - de 2004 c) Communication?
Perfeccionamiento Centro • 2. Do changes in size and definition images are
Colombo Americano achieved with digital photography have given
30 Mayo de 1978 dimension in photography these days?
de1977 - de 1978 • 3. In the evolution of photography by allowing
Pregrado/Universitario the change of a single print on silver halide paper
Bellas Artes to be printed on a variety of substrates such as
de1979 - de 1982 saucer, glass, metal, ect. What impact has this
had on the public in general and in the industry?
