11 BCE
The First Cameras
It is known that photography itself has been alive since the 5th century BCE and it was in the 11th century BCE where the Camera Obscura was made by an Iraqi scientist. -
The First Permanent Images
During the 1830s in France, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce used a camera obscura to make the first images that did not disappear within a period of time. He did this by exposing a bitumen exposed pewter plate to light. -
Daguerreotype
Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicephor Niepce collaborated to make the Daguerreotype which was the new way to take a photo that wouldn't vanish and this was a way of taking and preserving pictures was made public in 1839. -
Emulsion Plates
After the happy uproar of the invention of the daguerreotype, emulsion plates came to pass in the late 1800s or the early 1870s where emulsion plates took over the daguerreotype as it was cheaper and was easier to use so it was used much more like in the civil war. -
Dry Plates
Developed basically within the same timeline as Emulsion plates, Dry plates were discovered in the early 1870s. Richard Maddox used dry gelatin plates for the camera which could be stored instead of made(emulsion plates had wet plates which had to be made). This also led to the development of the first cameras with mechanical shutters. -
Cameras for Everyone
In the 1880s, a man named George Eastman started Kodak, a company where cameras, films, etc were made and this was the first time that they were made in large amounts. This company made it so that the average salary earning man could afford cameras. -
The Horrors of War
Henri-Cartier Bresson and other photographers started to use cameras to capture in real-time events during the war. Instead of staged pictures, photographers took pictures of events in war and this shocked the American people as the realism of war came to them which shaped the future of Photography. -
Advanced Image Control
Japan brought more advanced image control for the camera. In 1950, Asahi(Pentax) and Nikon both introduced SLR type cameras which would be used for the next 30 years as the preferred kind. -
Introducing Smart Cameras
In the early 1980s, smart cameras or portable cameras where one can "'point and shoot'" started to be introduced so it became very popular. These new cameras focused on shutter speed, aperture, and focus. -
The Digital Age
The 1980s to 1990s was a time where the digital age came where digital cameras were born and photos were stored digitally. The first one was made by Kodak who was being followed by today's companies like Canon, Nikon, and Pentax. -
