Hamburg-based online company, Wooop, is exhibiting early photography as a study of pioneers of the form.
Says Wooop CEO, Boris Schmidtke, “The early photographers such as the atelier Nadar had a profound impact on society, modern culture and advertising methods. Our exhibition ‘Pioneers of photography’ illustrates all the ambivalence of this rising new technique as well as the whole range of topics of early photographers. Our well selected photographs spotlights the very beginning of the portrait-photography, the classical nude-photography, early event-photography, historical architecture photography as well as ‘travel pictures’ made in some western colonies.”
Wooop offers a wide variety of art products such as prints and handmade artcopies as well as image licensing. Wooop launched in 2001 possesses an image stock library with nearly 20,000 different pictures from co-operations with leading image archives as well as self-recruited artists from the Web. All Wooop products are searchable through its onsite search engine. An art-lexicon with biographies of famous artists and interpretations of their most famous paintings is also available on site.
