Nonetheless, have you ever thought about how the concept of photography grew? As a matter of fact, photography as an art has been around for centuries. Humans have always appreciated beautiful scenes, always wanting to capture any example of such scenes. All The Same, the technology available a few centuries ago was not as evolved as it is today, in the modern age.
In this article, a history of when photography arrived, and how its popularity has risen, will be looked at.
"Photography" as a phrase and concept was introduced by Sir Jon Herscel around the early 1830s, which is when the world began to learn about this impressive thought. The two words that brought about the phrase 'photography' are 'photo' and 'graphein', meaning to record pictures via radiation or light.
Photography is nowadays only about recording images with the assistance of light. The first photograph was produced by a scientist named Daguerre who was a French painter and chemist. Traces of photographs have been found as early as the mid-to-late 1820s, which would suggest that such a technology did exist in some form earlier than 1839 (i.e. which is when Daguerre developed the first recorded photograph).
Photography became very well known in 1847 when photographs of the Mexican-American war were shown in the Americas, reaching the public. The public started to see the future of photography, and they came to know that this brand-new technology was about to change their lives.
The first colored photos - which were very basic - were released in 1861. This then created a real interest in photography all around the world, due to it being such a new and amazing concept. However it is important to note that this method involved simply tinting photographs, which obviously didn't produce the same high quality colored photos that we have nowadays.
Photography and its associated equipment kept improving - as did the quality of the photos produced - until in the 1991 when the first digital camera burst onto the worldwide scene.
This camera created a pulse between the public and they went mad for creating colorful and memorable pictures of their friends, family and relatives. Many more companies began to delve into the development of a wider variety of such cameras, which ultimately helped in producing the remarkable photographs that we have nowadays.
In today's world, fashion and electronic media rotate around photography. Due to all this, photographs today - especially their usage in advertising - has made people's lives a lot more colorful and beautiful!
