“This is not a snapshot, but a reproduction of a frozen, composed moment, illuminated by an impression—a sensation of color generated by multiple strokes of pigment shaped by the brush of light.” Institut Lumière
Patented in 1903 but unveiled at the Academy of Sciences in 1904, the Autochrome Lumière plate, invented by Louis Lumière, was the first color photography process. The secret of this invention lies in the use of dyed potato starch, which captures and filters light.
