Naturalistic photography


A style that was developed in the 1880s by the English photographer Peter Henry Emerson (1856-1936). He believed that images have to have a straightforward and uncomplicated appearance and reflect nature. He further stated that they should not be staged or retouched before being produced, and that they should be generated from a single negative (as opposed to the use of numerous negatives in combination printing).
