A Twin Lens Reflection camera was first brought to peoples attention back in 1912 by a German man named Oskar Barnack ( Kenfaith, 2023) . This camera has great feathers due to the due lenses built into the camera. According to Professor Nordell part 2 the top lens is used to take the photo and the second lens is used to view the image. The lens that was used to take the photo was bigger than the lens that was used to view the image. Not only did this camera take amazing pictures but it had a mirroring system, which allowed the photographer to view the image before taking it ( Kenfaith, 2023). This camera gained famed due to its ability to frame shots and focus on more than one thing and it was affordable. According to Nick Smith this camera was invented because it was light and look images faster. It gave a safe way of taking photographs in dangerous times. I couldn’t find a late enough image that was used with a Twin Lens Reflection Camera but this image was extremely cool due to is belonging to a blog.
As mentioned above the Twin Lens Reflex camera allowed photographers to capture great images due to framing the image. This allowed the image to have clear visuals and emotion for a photojournalist to be made. It changed photojournalism forever. It let photographers take images faster.
