PUBLICITY OF TOURISM IN ENUGU STATE
PREFACE
This project report was designed to publicize and explain the tourist center in
Enugu State with the aid of photograph.
The
fundamentals of taking photograph and the process and basic printing techniques
were clearly and concisely illustrated.
Through this photo publicity, the reporters create a graphic portrayal of the
work of nature in Enugu State and also the neglect done to some of them. This
will serve as a call to government to come to the aid and rescue of those areas
which will equally be their own benefits.
This project report is in form of bro9chure with the pictures of all the
tourist centers in Enugu State and their locations. It will serve as a guide
map to a tourist embarking on tourism or by may watching the pictures ones
moral or enthusiasm can be aroused to tourism.
The break down is five chapters capturing vividly all integral factors as
regards photography, publicity and tourism.
Chapter one which is the introductory chapter reveals the background history of
photography and publicity and objective research problem, approaches used,
limitations and delimitation’s definition of working terms and sources of
data.

BACKGROUND HISTORY
Photo-publicity
is combination of two words photograph and publicity. Before ever going into
Photo-publicity one has to know the meaning and origin of photography and
publicity.
PHOTOGRAPHY
According to the living Webster encyclopedia dictionary, photography is “act or
the process of obtaining accurate representation of object by means of chemical
action of light or other kinds of radiant energy on specially created surfaces.
The name: we owe the
name photography to Sir John Herschel, who first use3d the term in 1839, the
year the photographic process became public. The word is derived from the Greek
word for light and writing.
There are two distinct scientific processes that combine to make photograp0hy
possible. It is somewhat surprising that photography was not invented earlier
than the 1830’s; because these processes had being known for quit some time. It
was not until two distinct scientific processes has been put together that
photography came into being.
The first of these processes was optical. The camwra obscura (dark room) has
been in existence for at least foeur hundred years. There is a drawing, dated
1519, of a camera, obscura by Leonard da Vinci, about the same period its use
as an aid to drawing and being advocated.
The second process was chemical. For four hundred years before photography was
invented, people has been aware, for example, that some colours are bleach in
the sun, but they have made little distinction between heat, air and light.
In the sixteen hundred Robert Boyle, a founder of the royal society, had
reported that silver chloride turns dark under exposure, but he appear to
believe that it was caused by exposure in air rather than light.
Angelo Sala in the early seventeen century, noticed that powdered nitrate of
silver is blackened by the sun.
In 1727 Johann Hein rich Schulze discovered that certain liquids change colour
when exposed to light.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century Thomas Wedgewood was conducting
experiments he had successfully captured images, but his silhouettes could not
survive, as there was no known method of making the image permanent.
The first successful picture was produced on June/July 1827 by Nie,pce, using
material that harden exposure to light. This picture requires an exposure of
eight hours.
On 4 January 1827 Nie,pce agreed to go into partnership with Louis Daguerre,
Nie,pce died only four years later, buy daguerre continued to experiment soon
he had discovered a way of developing graphic plates, a process which greatly
reduced the exposure time from eight hours down to half an hour. He also
discovered that an image could be made permanent by immersing it in salt.
The Daguerre type process, though good, and each picture was a once-only
affair.
On January 31 1839 Williams Harry Fox Talbot, invented the calotype and by
1840, he made some significant improvements and was able to bring out a
photographic illustrated book entitled “the pencil of nature”.
From then photography establishments started growing from mushroom to
popularity.
In 1851 a new era in photography was introduced Fedrick Scott Archer, who
introduced the collodian process. This process was more faster than
conventional method reducing the exposure time to two or three seconds, thus
open up a new horizons in photography. The collodian process required that the
coating, exposure and development of the image should be done whilst the plate
was still wet. Another process developed by Archer was named Ambrotype, which
was a direct positive.
In the wet collodian process though in its time a great step forward, required
a considerable amount of equipment on location, various attempts were made to
preserve exposure plates, for development at a once convenient time and place,
but the preservative lessen the sensitivity of the material.
In 1871 Dr. Richard Maddox discovered a way of using gelatin instesd of glass
as a basic for the photographic plate. Dry plates could be developed much more
quickly than with any previous technique. The introduction of dry plate marked
a turning point. No longer did one need a cumbersome wet-plate; no longer
was a dark room tent needed.
By the 1860s, Cellloids had been invented, and John carbutt persuade a
manufacturer to produce very thin celluloid as a back for sensitive material
George Eastman is particularly remembered for introducing flexible film in
1884. And four years later he introduced the box camera and photography could
now reach a greater number of people.
PUBLICITY
According to encyclopedia, publicity is a public awareness resulting from the
spreading of information in the various communication media, it is the action
involved in bringing the information to public notice; the information,
advertisement, article and the like put forth to gain public attention.
It is information that attracts attention to a companies product; person or
event. Third party usually from the media is often employed to generate
publicity.
It can also be a message issued on behalf of some product or cause or idea or
person or institution.
Publicity is the start of 021 writing, then an illustrated writing, finally a
visual message intended to make available, in most immediate manner, most
concise, a slogan, a product, a mark.
By the advertisement which mark the beginning of true publicity, publicity is
certainty of artistic origin, but as it developed in diversified way, it was
pushed into a ghetto which could well correspond to the “unconsciousness” of
art. By its only existence, publicity clashes head-on the scale of social value
put in place from the concept of “pure” art. However many of its expression was
so convincing as works which are supposed to be born from a need of creation.
Photo publicity is therefore is the use photography in creating awareness. In
the case of this study it is photographical publicity of tourism in Enugu State
which involve the graphical images to attract the attention of the general
public to the tourist centres in Enugu State. It is aimed at arousing the mind
of people towards tourism
1.1
research aims and objectivesto arouse
the student’s mind to
specialize on
photography architecture and landscape photography whereby perspective angles
and composition are studied.
To explain the scope of photography from the first step of taking the
photographs, processing and printing them to the advance aspect of compositions
studio work and dark room techniques.
To create awareness through, photographs of tourist centers in Enugu State.
To make known the different tourist centres photographically for publicity,
documentation and exhibition.
To motivate the government to maintain the tourist centers and to develop the undeveloped
1.1
RESEARCH APPROACHES
A good number of approaches were used in carrying this report, they are:
HISTORICAL
APPROACH
The project
concentrates on those aspects of the society that are disappearing and
neglected. The photograph of the tourist centers in Enugu state serves a
historical purpose. They build a library of monumental of record purposes
FUNCTIONAL
APPROACH
The tactful exploration into photography will enable the graphics students of
the department have additional information and guideline to achieve the
technical snapshot of inland scenery; it will serve as a reference material to
students. The publication if exposed will serve as a compelling force on the
government and tourism respectively.
AESTHETICS
APPROACH
The love of nature and inland scenery call for aesthetic attention. The
photographs portray some characters of the scene or mood which satisfy the eye.
The exhibition of the photographs creates an opportunity for every one to
express him as he desires.
1.3
DESCRIPTIVE APPROACH
The choice of illustration and photographs in this project report describe the
whole element and techniques of photography as well as reveal the tourist
centers in Enugu State.
1.6
RESEARCH SCOPE
The scope of this research is based on Enugu State and Origin of this tourism
in the state with the use of single lens camera pentax k100 loaded with fomapan
film. I was able to picture the Udi Hill, Ngwo forest, Polo Park, Okpara
square, Nike lake hotel resort coal mine, Airport and Zoo. After which the
picture were processed and printed in black and whites.
The picture were fixed in the report with the aid scanner

RESEARCH PROBLEMS
Photography is a course of study has suffered untold setbacks which has also
affected the interest student reposed on it. The setback stem from poor
financial assistance, high cost and unavailability of studio materials.
The greater number of people in our society has vested their interest mainly on
portrait and motion photography, thereby neglecting the startling beauty
inherent in nature. The tourist centers in Enugu state needs publicity through
photograph for the government to come to the rescue of some devastating ones
and to open the eyes of various individual to tourism.
