The process of producing color photographs using color separation techniques or special chromatic light.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) + 'photo' (light) + 'graphia' (writing). Emerged in the 1890s-1900s as photographers pioneered methods to capture colors before modern color film was invented.
Chromophotography required genius-level problem-solving—photographers would expose three separate black-and-white plates through red, green, and blue filters, then reassemble them to create color images.
