What is projector photography?

Projection is the use of equipment and lighting to cause an image of an object to be seen on a screen. Usually the image is larger than the original and the projected image is positioned to be easily viewed or used for another process.

Black and white projections were popular in the 60s. However, it developed to colour through the years. As projectors improved, their colours and brightness also become increasingly more defined and vibrant. Projector photography became increasingly more popular since the vast improvement of projectors.

Projection art and photography has become more popular over the years as photographers and artists have discovered this useful, adaptable resource to produce art and photography. John French was a famous photographer who used projection art photography in the 1960s.
