The work of photographer William Notman is just as in process today as it was in his time especially in 3D. Hi, I’m Sassy with watchmojo.com and today we’ll be discovering the origins of 3D images.
It’s older than photography itself. You know photography has been discovered, invented in 1839 but stereoscopic use you know within it, with drawings or nitography is from the beginning of the 19th century. When you look at a stereocard with a stereoscope, you can direct one image to one eye and it creates two different image on each eye. It replicates the natural view of 3D. We see in 3D because we have two eyes and the brain does the merging of the two different images and gives the effect of 3D. There was a transformation of the stereogram to an anaglyph picture and the anaglyph photograph is what we are using in this exhibition. Each image is projected, one is filtered with a filter, the other with a green filter, so it makes one image. The viewer has to use glasses this time and it separates the two images in the anaglyph and it reproduces the written of disparity.
What are the Notman photographic archives?
It’s a huge collection of photography. The kernel of this collection is the archives of the studio of William Notman, the most important studio in Canada in the 19th century. It’s about 450 photographs. All the portraits are identified and dated. It could be easy to show contemporary photography in 3D but historical view, this is quite rare and this is outside three, just to stand in front of the panel, look to the glasses and it’s there.
