The light sensitive material can be film or, in digital camera, a silicon-based imaging chip.
The Camera Obscura is one of the inventions leading to photography
The oldest surviving photograph was an image produced in 1826 by the French inventor Joseph Nicephore Niepce. How does it look different from photographs you’ve seen?
Louis Dagguerre (1789-1851) in collaboration with Nicephore Niepce, invented the first practical photographic process in 1837 which was widely used in portraiture until the mid 1850’s.
“Boulevard du Temple," taken by Louis Daguerre in late 1838 or early 1839, was the first photograph of a person. This photograph of a busy street only shows two people. Why is that?
1861 – The first color photograph, an additive projected image of a tartan ribbon, was created by James Clerk Maxwell.
