The history of photography can be traced back to the camera obscura which is a box with a pinhole through which light travels and reflects off a mirror showing the image. The invention of modern photography can trace its roots back to Niepce who took what would be the first photograph in 1827 using a pewter plate. People would improve upon Daguerre’s idea until 1888, when George Eastman and the Kodak Company created the brown box Kodak camera, which meant photography would be available to the…
