    The passage discusses the origins and evolution of photography from its earliest beginnings to modern digital cameras. Key early developments discussed include Daguerreotypes, Calotypes, Wet Collodion process and more.

    The passage mentions that photography originated from the ancient discovery of the camera obscura and the observation that some substances change when exposed to light. The first actual photograph was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826.

    Some of the early photographic processes discussed included Daguerreotypes, Calotypes, Wet Collodion process, Dry Plate photography and more. Each had their own techniques and applications.

    History of Photography

    By: Julianna Cottey


    Origins of the Term “Photography”
    ● The word "photography" was created from the Greek roots φωτός (phōtos),
    genitive of φῶς (phōs), "light" and γραφή (graphé)
    ● The word means "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together
    meaning"drawing with light"
    ●
    Earliest Known Photography
    ● The world’s first photograph was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826
    or 1827
    ● Photography began in remote antiquity with the discovery of two critical
    principles camera obscura image projection and the observation that some
    substances are visibly altered by exposure to light
    Daguerreotype (1839-1860)
    ● The first commercially successful Photography
    ● Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre is the inventor of Daguerreotype.
    ● The Daguerreotype is accurate, detailed and sharp.
    ● Since the metal plate is extremely vulnerable, most Daguerreotypes have to
    be presented in a special housing.
    ● Daguerreotypes were very expensive
    Calotype(1841)
    ● It was invented by William Henry Fox Talbot of Great Britain in the 1830s.
    ● It is an early photographic process in which negatives were made using paper
    coated with silver iodide.
    ● In this technique, a sheet of paper coated with silver chloride was exposed to
    light in a camera obscura
    Wet Collodion Process(1851)
    ● Wet-collodion process, also called collodion process, 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
    Color Photography(1861)
    ● Color photography is photography that uses media capable of reproducing
    color
    ● The first color photograph made by the three-color method suggested by
    James Clerk Maxwell, in 1855, but was taken in 1861 by Thomas Sutton.
    ●
    Dry Plate Photography(1871)
    ● It was invented by R.L. Maddox in 1871
    ● It was a glass plate coated with a gelatin emulsion of silver bromide
    Kodak Roll Film Camera(1888)
    ● George Eastman invented flexible roll film and in 1888 introduced the Kodak
    camera shown to use this film
    ● Being able to take 100-exposure rolls of film that gave circular images 2 5/8"
    in diameter.
    ●
    Kodachrome Film (1935)
    ● Kodachrome film was created by Eastman Kodak Company.
    ● It is a color reversal film, and is the first successful color material
    ● First to be able to capture a color image had to deal with heavy glass plates,
    tripods, long exposures and an exacting development procedure.
    Polaroid Instant Photography (1940’s)
    ● Made by scientist and inventor Edwin Land
    ● The original Land Model 95 used two separate positive and negative rolls,
    which enabled the photograph to be developed inside the camera.
    ● Polaroid manufactured 60 copies of the Land Camera for the Christmas
    holiday.
    First Digital Camera(1975)
    ● Steven J. Sasson invented the world’s first digital camera while working at
    Eastman Kodak in 1975.
    ● Weighing about 8 pounds
    ●
    Most Modern Camera(2019)
    ● Created by Nikon
    ● “The Z 6 is perhaps the most adaptable camera we’ve ever created”
    ● The Z 6 is perhaps the most adaptable camera we’ve ever created
