"Photography" is derived from the Greek words photos "light" and graphein "to draw" The word was first used by the scientist Sir John F.W. Herschel in 1839. It is a method of recording images by the action of light, or related radiation, on a sensitive material.

Who invented photography?
Photography was invented by Sir John Herschel. The word photography is from the Greek word ‘photos’, which means light, and the word ‘graphos’.

A self-image of yourself, how about in the 18th century?
People have always liked, for example, a sense of himself. Before the 18th century, you had obviously not photography or cameras easy to say. People could only make theirown paint, and that was your photo. At a certain point that has been difficult, lengthy and costly. The rich people were usually the one who wanted a photo of themselves. they sought a way to flash it finished in one second, and since it’s much cheaper.

Solutions were used:
One solution was to create silhouettes that means that you the profile of a man afterregistered. But that was not very interesting, because you had no details about the imageor person.
Another solution was the camera obscura. As light passes through a small hole in a darkened room seems, is a picture of the outside world on the wall opposite shone. This is a convenient way to image tracing. Camera Obscura was a handy tool for artists, the outline of the picture and made this sketch used as a basis for a painting.

The First Photograph

On a summer day in 1827, Joseph Nicephore Niepce made the first photographic image with a camera obscura. people just used the camera obscura for viewing or drawing purposes not for making photographs. Joseph Nicephore or sun prints as they were called were the prototype for the modern photograph, by letting light draw the picture.

Cameras Today
Today there are many different types of cameras on the market. Cameras have developed a lot since the first camera was invented. Film cameras now compete with digital cameras which are now very popular especially for beginners and amateur photographers. Good quality digital cameras are very expensive.

“You can even make a camera. This you have to make do.
Step 1. Take an old shoebox.
Step 2. He should be black and without holes.
Step 3. Create a mini 1 side small hole with a pin
Step 4. You’re going to the darkroom and paste on the other side of the hole paper.
Step 5. Cover the hole and walk to where you’re going.
Step 6. Put the hole open and exposed your paper. It is very light then you are ready tofast, it is dark then it takes veeeeeery long (sometimes half an hour, which is trying)
Step 7. Cover the hole again and go back to the darkroom
Step 8. Develop the picture
Step 9. You are now ready”
