The History of Photography

By: Chloe Hammel & Reagan Trim

 Origins Of The Term "Photography" 1825
(The art or practice of taking and processing photographs.)

The word photography was composed from the greek words

(phtos), (phs), and (graph.)

Meaning drawing with light.

Earliest Known Photograph 1826
Creator was Joseph Nicphore Nipce.

He captured this photo outside his window in France.

And used the process of heliograph.

This photo is currently being showcased in the

University of Texas.
 Daguerreotype 1839
(A photograph taken by an early photographic process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor.)

Created by Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre.

Introduced worldwide by 1860, with a new and improved process.

Daguerreotypist would polish a sheet of silver copper to a mirror finish then treat it
with gases that made its surface light sensitive, then proceed to expose it for the
necessary time. Finally rinse and dry it.
 Calotype 1840
(An early photographic process in which negatives were made using paper coated with silver iodide.)

Also known as talbotype.

The word calotype comes from the greek words

(kalos),beautiful, (tupos), impression.
 Wet Collodion Process 1851
(The process involved adding a soluble iodide to a solution of collodion (cellulose nitrate) and coating a glass plate with the mixture.)

Early photographic technique invented by Frederick Scott Archer in

1851.

The process involved adding a soluble iodide to a solution of collodion

(cellulose nitrate) and coating a glass plate with the mixture.
 Color Photography 1861
(Any of various processes of color photography wherein three primary colors (as in blue, red and yellow) are used to produce the color
of the subject photographed.)

The first color photograph was made by the three-color method

suggested by James Clerk Maxwell in 1855.

It was then taken in by Thomas Sutton in 1861.

Dry Plate Photography
(Dry plate, also known as gelatin process, is an improved type of photographic plate.)
1871
It was invented by Dr. Richard L. Maddox in 1871.

George Eastman created the first dry plate factory in 1879

The new process made it easier for photographers.

Kodak Roll Film Camera 1888
(Roll-film or roll film is any type of spool-wound photographic film protected from white light exposure by a paper backing, as opposed
to film which is protected from exposure and wound forward in a cartridge.)

The company is headquartered in Rochester

Kodak provides packaging, printing, graphic communications and

professional services.

Its main products are Print Systems, Inkjet Systems, Micro 3D Printing and
Packaging, Software and Solutions, and Consumer and Film.
 Kodachrome Film 1935
(A brand name for a non-substantial color reversal film introduced by Eastman Kodak.)

This film was introduced in 1935

Used for both cinematography and still photography, it was one of the
first successful color materials.

Because of the growing popularity of alternative photographic

materials, its complex processing requirements, and the widespread
transition to digital photography, Kodachrome manufacturing was
discontinued in 2009.
Polaroid Instant Photography 1948
(The instant camera is a type of camera which uses self-developing film to create a chemically developed print shortly after taking the
picture. Polaroid Corporation pioneered (and patented) consumer friendly instant cameras and film.)

Edwin Land released the first commercial instant camera.

The earliest instant camera, which consisted of a camera and portable wet
darkroom in a single compartment, was invented in 1923 by Samuel
Shlafrock.
 First Digital Camera 1975
Digital and movie cameras share an optical system, typically using a lens with
a variable diaphragm to focus light onto an image pickup device.

Many digital cameras can also record moving videos with sound

Some digital cameras can crop and stitch pictures and perform other
elementary image editing.
 Most Modern Camera 1975
(A digital camera or digicam is a camera that produces digital images that can be stored in a computer, displayed on a screen and printed.)

Digital cameras use megapixels, which are millions of tiny squares that form
a mosaic or puzzle to create images.

Digital cameras can zoom in on tiny and long distance shots with their
lenses.

Some newer digital cameras have autofocus features and face detection
modes that make them smart cameras. Some models also have touch screens
to make taking, editing and viewing digital photos and videos easier.

Digital cameras offer built-in memory space and memory card slots that
support high-speed memory cards that can hold hundreds of photos and
hours of videos.
