These pictures, all in black and white, were done with available light or sometimes a lantern, [13] yet they are "amazingly crisp with surprising depth of field". We can almost finger the coarse textures of coats and shawls; the layers of fabric worn by the people seem more related to tree bark than to the well-pressed wool suit worn by an occasional elegant passerby. Vishniac's photographs from this period are widely commended and on permanent display in many museums. Edward Steichen places his pre- Holocaust photographs, "among photography's finest documents of a time and place.

Vishniac's photographs have had a profound effect on Holocaust literature and have illustrated many books about the Jewish ghettos and Holocaust. In the case of The Only Flowers of her Youth, the drama of the photograph inspired Miriam Nerlove to write a novel based on the story of the girl in the picture.

In Edward Steichen selected three of Vishniac's Eastern European photographs; of boys at a Cheder in Slonim , of children and a woman in Lublin , for the Museum of Modern Art world-touring The Family of Man exhibition that was seen by 9 million visitors, accompanied by a catalogue which has never been out of print. There has been criticism of Vishniac's work, focusing on the lack of diversity of his subjects in his work from Eastern Europe and quality of his composition. It has been argued that he should have also photographed wealthier Jews, in addition to the poor Jews in ghettos.

Thornton criticized his photographs for their unprofessional qualities, citing "errors of focus and accidents of design, as when an unexplained third leg and foot protrudes from the long coat of a hurrying scholar. When photographic curator Maya Benton began to catalog Vishniac's negatives for the archive of the International Center of Photography , she noticed that, in his book A Vanished World, Vishniac juxtaposed photos to tell stories, and wrote captions that were not supported by the material. In the final spread of the book, for example, there is a photo of a man peering through a metal door; on the opposite page a small boy points with his finger to his eye.

His son signals him that they are approaching. But the iron door was no protection. Similarly, Benton discovered negatives that showed the unsmiling little girl depicted in The Only Flowers of her Youth — whom Vishniac had claimed did not own a pair of shoes — smiling and wearing shoes. Michael di Capua, who edited Vishniac's text for A Vanished World, has said that he felt disquiet while compiling the text, since so much information was unsubstantiated.

In addition to the candid photography for which he is best known, Vishniac worked heavily in the field of photomicroscopy , specifically interference microscopy and cinemicroscopy. He specialized in photographing living insects and had a talent for arranging the moving specimens in "just the right poses", according to Philippe Halsman , former president of the American Society of Magazine Photographers. On the subject of Vishniac's skill in photomicroscopy, Halsman said he was, "a special kind of genius". Vishniac's work in photomicroscopy was, and is, highly regarded in the field.

One of Roman Vishniac's most famous endeavors in the field of photomicroscopy was his revolutionary photographs from the inside of a firefly's eye, behind 4, tiny ommatidia , complexly arranged. In addition, there were the images taken at the medical school of Boston University of the circulating blood inside a hamster 's cheek pouch. Vishniac invented new methods for light-interruption photography and color photomicroscopy.

In the field of biology, Vishniac specialized in marine microbiology, the physiology of ciliates , circulatory systems in unicellular plants and endocrinology from his work in Berlin and metamorphosis. Vishniac studied the anatomy of an organism primarily to better photograph it. Besides experimenting with the metamorphosis of axolotl , he also researched the morphology of chromosomes in As a biologist and philosopher in , he hypothesized polyphyletic origin, a theory that life arose from multiple, independent biochemical reactions, spawning multicellular life.

As a philosopher, he "developed principles of rationalistic philosophy" in the '50s. Vishniac is notable for his photographs of insects mating, sea bass feasting and other living creatures in full animation. Skillfully and patiently, he would stalk insects or other such creatures for hours in the suburbs around New York City. Before beginning the hunt, he would lie for over an hour in the grass, rubbing himself with proximate flora to make himself smell less artificial. He would then gracefully swoop close to his prey and patiently frame the scene with an SLR equipped with an extension tube.

He had even trained himself to hold his breath for up to two minutes, so that he could take his time and not disturb slowly exposing images. Vishniac's subjects varied throughout his life. At times, he would focus on documenting everyday life, as in Berlin, and later portraiture , doing famous portraits of Albert Einstein and Marc Chagall. He was also a pioneer in time-lapse photography , on which he worked from to , [4] [9] and again later in life.

Roman Vishniac always had strong ties with his ancestry, especially the Jewish aspect of it, "From earliest childhood, my main interest was my ancestors". He was a Zionist [13] [19] and a strong sympathizer with Jews who had suffered because of anti-Semitism , "Oh yes, I could be a professor of anti-Semitism", also stating then that he had one hundred and one relatives who died during the Holocaust. A famous photo of his pictured right of a store in Berlin selling devices for separating Jews and non-Jews by skull shape was used by him to criticize the pseudoscience of German anti-Semites.

Vishniac associated much of his work with religion, though not specifically Judaism. Living with the memory of hardship, Vishniac was, "an absolute optimist filled with tragedy. His humanism is not just for Jews, but for every living thing. He even clashed with Orthodox Jews in one well-known instance: The religious Jews he met on his trek around Europe would not let themselves be photographed, quoting the Bible and its prohibition of making of graven images. Vishniac's famous response was, "the Torah existed for thousands of years before the camera had been invented.

Vishniac was known for having great respect for all living creatures. Whenever possible, he returned a specimen to its precise home before it was captured [4] and one time "[lent] his bathtub to tadpoles for weeks until he could return them to their pond". In accordance with this philosophy, he photographed almost exclusively living subjects.

His book A Vanished World, published in He died on a research trip to the Antarctic attempting to retrieve equipment in a crevice. The crater Vishniac on Mars is named in his honor. Wolf Vishniac contributed greatly to the search for life on Mars by developing a special miniature laboratory that could be transported to that planet, known as the "Wolf Trap".

This research was supported by a NASA grant started in , the very first ever for the "biological sciences. Ethan Tecumseh Vishniac born is an American astrophysicist. He is the son of microbiologist Wolf V.

This is an article about a given name. For ancient Roman names, see Roman naming conventions. Roman is a male first name. It has distant origins dating back to the Roman Empire and the Latin language. It comes from the Latin word "romanus", which means "of Rome". The name day festival for Roman may take place on different days depending on the country. Variations of the name include: Sunset time-lapse Mung bean seeds germinating, a day time-lapse in roughly 1 minute The ALMA time-lapse of the night sky[1] Blossoming geraniums; 2 hours are compressed into a few seconds Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured the frame rate is much more spread out than the frequency used to view the sequence.

When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured at 1 frame per second, but then played back at 30 frames per second; the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. In a similar manner, film can also be played at a much lower rate than it was captured at, slowing down an otherwise fast action, as in slow motion or high-speed photography. Processes that would normally appear subtle and slow to the human eye, e.
