Atelier

The film consists of three parts: "Acquaintance," "Atelier," and "Time." It tells the story of the inventors of photography—Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, Hermann Wilhelm Fogel, and Franz de Mazer. The narrative of their pioneering work in the creation of the art of photography unfolds through the revelation of the era in which they lived and worked.
