It was 1021 AD when Ibn Al- Haytham first created the one thing that captures the moment.The first name of the camera was a camera obscura. It started as a room sized camera that had room for 1 or more people. It has changed over many generations like from daguerreotypes, calotypes, film, and finally the digital camera. The first cameras were designed in ancient chinese and ancient greeks.
The first camera image was taken by Nicephore Niepce in 1816 but it turned black after being exposed to light for too long. After Niepce died his friend made the first image that stayed 23 years later. The camera was developed so many people could capture events.

It has captured many important events. Some being JFK’s funeral, a picture of the titanic before it sunk, a german soldier passing a flower through a wall before it was torn down, and many more. Also, many people take pleasure in taking pictures and they create many great memories for people.
Although there are many positive outcomes of a camera there are also negatives outcomes. Especially in the first camera. To start, it wasn’t until 1816 that a picture was actually created. So even though there was a camera the pictures rarely stuck or stayed. Also, many people aren’t using cameras anymore people just use their phone so many camera sales have dropped.
I think the positive outweighs the negative because there is a lot of good that comes from a cameras. To start, it captures much of America’s History. It also captures family memories that people cherish and save forever. I think that in the future the camera will stay around because many photographers still use a camera not a phone or
Photographs have been circling the world for years now . There are many different types of cameras, but only some have changed and revolutionized the world. The history behind them and the history it has captured throughout the years has impacted the world in numerous ways. It is very important to know how certain things like lighting and angle affect the outcome of photographs. To be able to capture a perfect photograph one will have to understand how lighting , angle , third rule affect a photograph. Not only are there different types of ways to take photographs but different types of photography.
As mankind rapidly evolved recording events became harder. Early history is only able to be pictured with using our imagination. Often times historians often clash about what the world looked like. Ancient civilizations from the Mayans and Aztecs have never been seen while they were in their pristine condition. The world is left with written descriptions and ruins not only of the cities themselves, but also the tools used. After the camera was invented in the early 1800s, events were more frequently recorded and it was clear what tools and cities looked like before modern-day. Photography has undoubtedly altered how we document events, created new job openings, and will give generations to come amazing art and show defining moments from each generation. Photography has helped evolve the world by creating new jobs and revolutionizing how events are documented.
It was invented by George Eastman and you can capture images and videos that could last a lifetime with a camera. For most Americans cherishing memories is crucial to them. And the camera helps you do just that. You could take a picture on April 8th, 2003 and come back to it years later. The camera is not only useful for cherishing memories. You can use it for education, learning about our history, and keeping up with what's going on in our society. Without cameras we wouldn't be able to know major events that happened in the past. For example, imagine if there were no pictures of the Holocaust, would as many people believe it happened? The camera was important in industrialization because people could now have faster way to capture significant moments in history without drawing or painting them. Cameras are still a big part of our society today. They play big role in entertainment. Also, because of cameras we can see what's happening in other parts of the world. Overall the uses for a camera will always be vital in our current
Throughout history newspapers have been dominant. They have informed citizens about events taking place throughout the world and allowed us to see the world in many different ways. The emergence of photography in the 1920s sparked the invention of photojournalism. This created; credibility, new celebrities, and additional corporate competition.
Sense the invention of the camera in 1826 photography has been used to document everything from family portraits, social injustice, sporting events, world news, expressions of joy and sorrow, and hundreds of monumental moments. The camera has given man the power to reveal the truth visually. Throughout history photographs have made enormous impacts on social consciousness and ultimately shaped public opinion on many pressing issues in society. Although photography is often considered a casual pastime, the invention of the camera has contributed to many aspects of history, science, and other important pieces of todays world.
Photography is a word derived from the Greek words photos light and to draw. A scientist called Sir John F.W. Herschel, which was in 1839, first used the word. It was a method which was all about recording images by using light or radiation on a sensitive material. The first known camera was created by Alhazen also known as who lived around 100AD he invented the first pinhole camera this camera was used to capture the movement of the sun. Photography was explained to be the science and art of documenting photographs by capturing light on a light sensitive material which included film or an electronic sensor. Light could be reflected from objects which could expose a chemical or electronic material during a timed exposure which is typically used through a camera which can store the information chemically or electronically. The first photograph was take in 1827 taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce who made the first photograph
Photographs were permanently created using several techniques from different photographers. Joseph Nicephore Niepce made the first photographic image with a
To conclude, the camera has both positive and negative sides. It has helped us in so many ways from security, remembering the past, to help solving crimes and mysteries. Thanks to the camera, it is almost impossible to not have memories. Without the camera, the world would not be as intelligent as it is now, and hopefully the camera can continue to help people learn. Cameras are now the essence of the lives of modern day generation. The camera was the greatest invention of the 19th century because of the expanse of information it has given
The invention of the camera helped everybody that could afford one. The invention of the camera helped to improve many different aspects of people's lives. From the work of proof to just wanting to have memories, the camera was widely popular and in demand. People could finally have evidence or proof, not only for important events, but for everything in life. It enabled regular people to establish their moments and share it with others, making it possible for another manner of documentation.
“Cameras have evolved from a pinhole up to the latest and accessible SLRs and DSLRs. Underwater, disposable and film and digital cameras were also invented. The increasing knowledge of people to photography and cameras contributed a lot in order to make more innovations through the years. Therefore, taking photographs, recording images and moments, and sharing the art form became easy and fast” (Art of the Masses). Despite the fact that photography was intended solely for the
While we think of photography as a fairly modern invention, that is simply not true. In fact, there are documents on the underlying principle behind photography dating back to as early as the Fifth Century, B.C. The first recorded instance of a photographic image was found in 5th Century China. During that time, Chinese philosopher and scholar Mo-Ti described how light passing through a pinhole into a dark room created an inverted, full color image on the opposite wall. Mo-Ti the room he used to produce this
Two figures in particular were key to its development – Frenchman Louise Daguerre and British inventor William Henry Fox Talbot. The first permanent photographs were produced in the 1820s by Joseph Nicephore Niepce – a Fench inventor – using pewter and petroleum. He then started experimenting with silver compounds, and teamed up with Daguerre.
In ancient times, at approximately 5th century B.C., the beginning of the camera was the use of a camera obscura, Greek meaning “Dark room.” A camera obscura is a dark room that has a small hole in a wall or other
Since its nineteenth century beginning, photography has impacted the world in these ways: photography has impacted social issues, like the conditions of third world countries, photography allows people to express themselves as a form of art, photography also influences our opinions on matters such as war. “the art or process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (as film or an optical sensor).” (Merriam-Webster)
No matter who a person thinks invented the motion picture camera, whether it was Louis Lumiere or Thomas Edison, I'm sure they had no idea what it would become at the turn of the century. Motion pictures, has become an entertainment medium like no other. From Fred Ott's Sneeze to Psycho to Being John Malkovich, the evolution from moving pictures to a pure art form has been quite amazing. Different steps in filming techniques define eras in one of the most amazing ideas that was ever composed. Silent to Sound. Short to long. Black and white to color. Analog to Digital. All were important marks in the History of Motion Pictures. "It's different than other arts. It had to be invented"
