This is the first ever photograph, which was produced by Nicéphore Niépce, who died in 1833.

It took eight hours to develop the first photograph, by using a paste made up of a silver coin dissolved in nitric acid, then cooking salt which formed the paste.

The whole reason for developing the first photograph, was to make it easier for him to keep pictures, instead of having them painted.

Nicéphore Niépce, circa 1795.

Sir John Herschel was the first person to think about and create ‘The cyanotype process’

The whole reason behind the invention was because Sir. Herschel was an astronomer, and wanted to keep permanent copies of his work.

A chemical he used to create the process was hyposulphite of soda.

FACT: Photographers were usually asked to take pictures of the deceased. This was known as post mortem photos.

William Henry Fox Talbot.

Frederick Scott Archer designed and invented wet collodion in 1851.

He then later went on to project the images onto glass, copper and other metals. He engraved the image onto these materials, hoping to get a permanent result.

Eadweard James Muybridge, born in Kingston upon Thames, used 12 photos of a galloping horse, and attached them together to create the first ever motion-picture projection.

He immigrated to the United States as a young man but remained obscure until 1868, when his large photographs of Yosemite Valley, California, made him world famous. Muybridge is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878,

1889-1905.

In 1889, the first fixed focus lens and single shutter speed camera came out. As it was the first camera it was bought at a low price.

In 1905 Oscar Barnsck became head of development of the camera company Leitz in Wetzlar, Hesse, Germany. He was the driving force behind the making of the first mass-marketed 35mm camera. Barnack suffered from asthma, and sought to reduce the size and weight of cameras and supporting equipment used for outdoor photography. His 35mm design helped introduce the concept of exposing a small area of film to create a negative, then enlarging the image in a darkroom.
