Often, photographers had to rely on the availability of natural light to get the most dramatic shot, or make do with the available technology that was oftentimes too stark, drowning out the subject matter.

Over the years, the artist and the equipment have influenced each other. In this race, the evolution of the art form and the equipment go almost hand in hand. Indeed, one needs the other to grow.
