It is a technique and form of art that consists of capturing images using light, projecting it
and fixing it in the form of images on a sensitive medium, physical or digital, in fact, its name
derives from Greek:
Photo = light
Graphy = drawing.
Photography is based on the same principle as the 'camera obscura', an optical instrument that
it consists of a completely dark compartment with a small hole in one of its
extremes, through which light enters and projects onto the darkened background the images of what
it happens outside of behavior, although inverted.
In the case of cameras, the principle is exactly the same except that they are
equipped with lenses to refine the focus of the projected, mirrors to reinvert the image
projected and finally a photosensitive film (or a similar digital sensor), which captures the
image and the guard, in order to later develop it or view it digitally.
The images obtained in this way are also called photographs or photos, and they are the result of
decades of refinement of the technique and photosensitive materials, until achieving the
optical quality of modern cameras.
Origin of photography
Before the invention of the camera, there were attempts to capture the visual image,

with heliogravures and daguerreotypes, precursor techniques of the 19th century that had moderate success,
but they turned out to be very expensive and not very clear.
Photography as such was invented during the transition to industrial society.
He inherited from the daguerreotype the use of photosensitive films of polished silver, developed with vapors of
mercury, but these were toxic and expensive elements
Scientists and inventors of the 19th century gradually found better methods and results, until the

Subsequently, the technique would not stop innovating. In 1907, Lumière invented color photography.
In 1948, the polaroid photograph and in 1990, photographic digitization.

First photograph in history
The first preserved photograph in history was taken in 1826 by the French engineer.
Nicéphore Niépce from the window of his barn in Saint Loup de Varennes, France. The
recent analysis of the photography in an X-ray spectrometer has revealed the materials
used by Niépce: a heavy tin photographic plate coated with a liquid mixture of
Judea wax and lavender oil, which hardens when exposed to light.

The camera, background of its origin
The first attempts at what we now know as the camera date back thousands of years, back then
In the 5th century, in China, a man noticed the existence of a process that involved light,
reflection and a dark area that in return would return an identical copy of the image seen through
this.
Years later, in the year 1685, Johann Heinrich Schulze invented an invention, which he called the
"pinhole camera", this inventor discovered that with the use of silver nitrate it also
obtained through chemical reactions, something similar to what is currently known as the
photographic process and therefore also influenced the creation of the camera.
In France in the year 1816, Joseph Nicephore Niepce, a French photographer, also dedicated himself to the
invention of an archetype that took photos, which he called heliographies, for this the brothers,
also French, Charles and Vincent Chevalier, made a wooden device with legs
longs just as we see them in movies. Although its supposed camera met
his goal, the images he took only lasted a few hours and yet took a long time
a lot until being able to capture them. Even so, this man is known as "the father of the
photography
Who invented the camera and in what year?
In summary, it was Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in the year 1826 who was the first photographer, using a
wooden camera made by Charles and Jacques Vicent Louis Chevalier in Paris. Without
embargo, although it is "officially" considered that this was the birth of photography, the
The invention of the camera obscura is earlier.
On the other hand, it was not until the year 1836 that Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre produced the first
The camera was invented with some improvements based on previous ones; its invention
it helped to perfect this field and its photographs had the quality that characterized the
epoch.
George Eastman perfected this invention, first, he used paper to develop the images and
then it included a celluloid film that would capture and hold the images of a better
way. It is said that this innovator was the one who designed the camera very close to what
we meet today.
Kodak cameras came to light thanks to Eastman's efforts, who in his factories, also
known as the 'yellow giant', invented the film roll and was able to bring it to life

In 1891, the first Kodak camera factory was inaugurated in England and at the same time,

First color photograph
In 1855, James Clerk Maxwell, Scottish physicist, sent a paper to the Royal Society of Edinburgh,
where he proposes a technique that would allow for the projection of color photographs. By 1861, he dictates a
conference on 'the theory of the three primary colors' at the 'Royal Institute of Great Britain'
where the first demonstration of a color photograph was presented.
