George Eastman: Founder of Kodak and the Photography Business

En savoir plus sur le livre

The life of George Eastman is very much a part of the history of contemporary photography. Founder of the Eastman Kodak Company, Eastman was an enthusiastic photographer himself who became instrumental in bringing photography to the mainstream. He invented the first commercial film, as well as the first Kodak cameras designed to be accessible to anyone, at a time when photography entailed expensive and complicated processes reserved only for trained and professional photographers. His inventions also became the basis for the development of the first motion pictures, making Eastman perhaps one of the most important figures in the formation of our modern image-based culture. Daniel Gutierrez-Sandoval is the Executive Director of the Policy Studies Organization. He is an amateur photographer who has participated in various international contests, and continually exhibits his work at the Arts Club of Washington DC. He holds a M.A. from the Johns Hopkins University, and a B.A. from the Universidad de las Américas-Puebla.
