Leonardo Davinci
Artists like Leonardo Davinci used this method to introduce 3D things onto a flat plate. So that he could copy things like perspective more easily. -
Johann Heinrich Schultz
Johann Heinrich Schultz discovered that exposing certain silver compound to light over them appears to leave marks where-ever the light touched. This only lasted a little while, because soon enough his images disappeared. -
Henry Fox Talbot
Henry Fox Talbot used paper and many copies to be made from a single negative. Himself and another scientist fought over who would produce the best Photography invention. -
Project Images
1839 was when people figured out how to project images onto light sensitive surfaces that would retain the images after exposure. -
George Eastman
George Eastman believed that everyone should have access to Photography. He spent many late nights mixing chemicals to try to achieve a dry plate Photography process. This would allow exposed negatives to be stored and developed later at a more convenient place. He then discovered plastic roll film that would fit into hand held expensive cameras. These cameras sold by the millions. With the slogan "You Push the Button, We do the Rest" -
Louis Daguerre
Louis Daguerre was the other scientist that Henry Fox Talbot fought against. Daguerre was an artist and a chemist from France. He developed something called a Daguerrotype which used a silver plate in which produced a sharper image. But it could only create positive images. So copies had to be made by taking another photo. -
Present Day
It is now estimated that in the present day, over 300 billion photographs are taken each year.
