This word was constructed to name a method of capturing images by the conduction of light, or associated radiation, on a sensitive material. Alhazen, also known as Ibn Al-Haytham, who lived around 1000AD in the Middle Ages invented the first pinhole camera, also called the Camera Obscura. The camera obscura is a space or room with a hole in one side, creating a dark place inside while on the other side is the image to be captured. Light from the external scene travels through the hole and displays on the surface inside. From this point it can be reproduced, although upside down, but with the original aspects of the image. The image can be copied down onto paper using tracing paper. Alhazen during his research was able to explain why the images were upside …show more content…
Joseph Nicephore Niepce was a French inventor. He is now regarded to as the inventor of photography and a founding father in that field. Joseph Niépce invented heliography, which is a method he used to produce the world's oldest remaining artifact of a photographic process. This process created a photograph from a print made from a photoengraved printing plate dated back to 1825. The first photograph was taken from the window of his Parisien residence of a nearby house and barn. The photo would take up to eight hours to produce. Niépce formed a partnership with Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre to sustain the new form of art. But unfortunately in 1833, Niépce died of a stroke and left Daguerre to carry on the new form that Niépce had miraculously
