Photography Inc. relates the story of photography and the photography industry from its earliest days to the present. Photography began as a craft. A photograph was a luxury item. Later, it became a mass product for a democratic market. Automation, commerce and consumers all played their part. Manufacturers followed their customers' lead with demand for equipment that was faster, simpler and cheaper.
Photography Inc. focuses on defining moments in photography's history, the impact of technological developments on the user and the interface between the photographer and the industry. Particular attention is paid to the role played by the Belgian company
Agfa-Gevaert. All photographs, cameras and other objects reproduced in these pages belong to the collection of FOMU - Fotomuseum, Antwerp.
