Probabilistic Models of the Photographic Process

The photographic process, still not completely understood, is a rich source of temporal and spatial probabilistic processes, to date largely untapped by probabilists. This paper reviews applications of probability to such problems as reciprocity failure, granularity, and adjacency effects in photographic materials, concentrating on developments since 1971.
