About this ebook
The medium of limitless possibilities that is photography has been with us for almost 200 years.
Despite its great advancements, its early days still influence and dazzle a majority of professional photographers and artists. Such is the case of Cendrine Marrouat, Hadiya Ali and David Ellis, three members of the PoArtMo Collective.
The result? Seizing the Bygone Light: A Tribute to Early Photography. This unique collection of artistic styles brings together different innovative concepts of both gripping writing and stunning visual imagery.
In the first part of the book, photographer and painter Ali introduces us to two of her favorite photographers by reimagining and recreating images in the nature of her photographic idols -- Irving Penn and Karl Blossfeldt.
In the second part, photographer, poet, and author Marrouat shares a selection of her reminigrams, a digital style that she personally created to honor and pay homage to the early days of photography.
Author and poet Ellis rounds things off with a series of pareiku poems (the poetry form he co-created with Marrouat), offering fresh outlooks for his sincere, heartfelt adoration of photography of the past.
A fascinating and compelling book, Seizing the Bygone Light: A Tribute to Early Photography will leave you with a deep sense of appreciation and a greater understanding of photography.
PoArtMo Collective is a gathering of inspirational artists, writers and photographers that combine their talents to produce positive, mixed media projects that stimulate the minds of the people who delve into them.

Seizing the Bygone Light - Cendrine Marrouat
Introduction
I have seized the light! I have arrested his flight! The sun himself in future shall draw my pictures!
- Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, 1839.
Photography has been around us for almost 200 years. Two centuries of evolution and changes, during which photography has become a medium of limitless possibilities, allowing each person to capture whatever they see and share it with the world.
And yet, as advanced as photography is today, many of its practitioners and other artists still look up to its pioneers as a way to perfect their styles and their storytelling techniques, to ensure that their work leaves the right mark.
We are part of that group.
