With a new focus on realism came photography. In the middle of the 19th century, realism arose out of industrialization. During this time suffering was reflected in works of art. With photos, a specific time could be easily remembered.====== Daguerre used the camera obscura, which is a darkened box with a convex lens or aperture for projecting he image of an external object onto a screen inside (much like a modern day projector). This furthermore helped with the technology of photography.Daguerre’s findings about how to preserve a painting is called the Daguerreotype. He took salt solution and removed the unnecessary silver iodine from the mixture. In photography, nature is a major part of the art. Eadweard Muybridge further impacted photography with his discovery of motion. His brilliance led him to develop successful pictures, which accurately helped the study of human's and animal's body motions. (The famous and well known one that he started with is the horse's gallop). By careful looking at the slides, people get a sense of how unique and complex it really is. In addition, Muybridge created many images that "capture progressive movements within fractions of a second" (Freeze Frame). Today photos we take are considered normal because with visual evidence, people are more likely to accept reality.
