The History of Photography

By Trinity Edwards and Taylor Johnson

Earliest Known Photograph - 1826
The earliest known surviving photograph was taken by a man named Joseph
Nicphore Nipce. He took a photograph of a view from an upstairs window in
France.
Photography Term - 1830
phrases, acronyms and strings of numbers or number-letter combinations used to
identify photographic hardware or techniques can be daunting to the uninitiated
neophyte photographer.
Calotype - 1841
Calotype is an early photographic process that was created by a man named
William Henry Fox Talbot. This creation of photography is used with paper that is
coated with a type of silver, called silver iodide. This allowed the camera to adjust
to the exposure of light.
Wet Collodion Process - 1851
early photographic technique invented by Englishman 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.
Daguerreotype - 1860
To make the image, a daguerreotypist would polish a sheet of silver-plated copper
to a mirror finish, treat it with fumes that made its surface light sensitive, expose it
in a camera for as long as was judged to be necessary.
Color Photography - 1861
color photography wherein three primary colors (as blue-violet, green, and red in
the additive process or magenta, yellow, and blue-green in the subtractive
process) are used to produce the color of the subject photographed.
Dry Plate Photography - 1871
Dry Plate is also known as the gelatin process. It is an better type of photographic
plate. In 1871 it was invented by Dr. Richard L. Maddox, and in 1879 the first dry
plate factory was introduced.
Kodak Roll Film Camera - 1888
George Eastman invented roll film and in 1888, introduced the Kodak camera that
showed how to use the film. His first camera, the Kodak, was sold in 1888 and
consisted of a box camera with 100 exposures.
Kodachrome - 1935
In 1935 Leopold Godowsky, Jr., and Leopold Mannes, two American musicians
working with the Kodak Research Laboratories, initiated the modern era of colour
photography with their invention of Kodachrome film.
Polaroid Instant Photography - 1948
Edwin H. Land was the inventor of instant photography.The instant camera is a
type of camera which uses self-developing film to create a chemically developed
print shortly after taking the picture.
First Digital Camera - 1975
The first digital camera was created in December 1975 by Steve Sasson, an
engineer at Eastman Kodak.
