=== Photography and film ===

While his photographs are less known than his paintings or his sculptures, Edgar Degas also pursued photography later in his life. His photographs were never exhibited during his lifetime, and not much attention was given to them following his death. It was not until the late 20th century that scholars started to take interest in Degas's photographs.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Daniel |first1=Malcolm |title=Edgar Degas, Photographer |date=1998 |publisher=Metropolitan Museum of Art, distributed by H.N.

These Impressionist photographers used various techniques such as photographing subjects [[out of focus]], using [[Soft focus|soft focus lenses]] or [[pinhole lens]]es, and manipulating the [[Gum printing|gum bichromate process]] to create images that resembled Impressionist paintings.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-last=Warren |editor1-first=Lynne |title=Encyclopedia of Twentieth Century Photography |volume=1, A-F Index |chapter=Impressionism |date=2006 |publisher=Routledge |location=New York, NY |isbn=978-1-57958-393-4 |pages=778–781 |url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopedia-of-twentieth-century-photography/ |access-date=21 March 2024}}</ref>
