The invention of the camera began with sketches made by Nicephore Niepce. In the mid-1820s, he developed a method for fixing an image with the aid of a camera. His process required long exposure times. His associate Louis Daguerre devised a method that only required minutes of exposure within the camera. This process produced images that were clear and reproducible, and was eventually introduced to the world in 1839.
In the early 1950s, the technology behind the first practical photography was developed by Louis Daguerre, who sold the technology to the French government. In 1840, Alexander Wolcott invented the first camera. His camera did not fade, and was used by the navy. However, he wasn’t the sole inventor of the camera; many other people helped to develop the technology. By the end of the 1960s, the world was awash with cameras, and the field of photography as we know it was transformed.
The development of the camera and the advancement of photographic printing went hand in hand. As cameras became more sophisticated, manufacturers also became more creative. The invention of the photographic film was the work of George Eastman, who developed paper film in 1885 and later switched to celluloid. He was also responsible for the invention of the first digital cameras. During his lifetime, the history of the camera was marked with significant advances. During this time, a new type of digital cameras was released, and the digital camera was born.
