When we think about photography it takes us decades and centuries behind. After a century when photography became a well known phenomenon, the professionals and talented took in charge of photography in a more qualified way. However, in the latest trends photography is not necessarily done by professionals to capture good pictures, thanks to the digital camera that has aided to capture pictures independently and that too with a professional effect. Initially photography started in 1820s which was the period when the first photographs were permanently captured which was possible due to scientific developments.

Scientist-Albertus Magnus and Georges Fabricius in the 13th and 16th century discovered silver chloride and silver nitrates respectively that were sensitive to light. In the recent period, silver chlorate is used to make photographic paper as it is sensitive to photons and shows a concealed picture primarily and after photo reduction the actual film is developed.

In the year 1825, a French inventor, Nicephore Niepce, discovered the first photograph, an image was clicked in olden version of camera, which was a long and a difficult procedure and took around eight hours of exposure to direct sunlight, to develop into a true picture. Later on, the silver compounds, like those discovered by Magnus and Fabricus, were used by Niepce along with the research of Johann Heinrich Schultz, in 1972, which proved that a amalgamation of chalk and silver compounds become dark on exposure to sunlight which helped Niepce to be successful in his invention of photography. This invention has led to a successful photography which is being carried on till date.

Louis Daguerre and Niepce worked together and developed the photo reduction process in the year 1883, after which Niepce died of a major heart attack leaving the entire job on Daguerre's shoulders who further made two major inventions in the field of photography called Daguerreotype. Alike daguerreotype, in 1832 a French-Brazilian painter along with the great creator Hercules Florence came out with Photographie, now popularlwell known as Photography. This is almost like Polaroid photos that are used today.

In the year 1840, Fox Talbot took a major jump and developed photography which was further polished by an astronomer, John Hershel. Then came George Eastman who advanced Talbot's advancement and improvement, George Eastman's development is used in today's chemical cameras'. Hippolyte Bayard also had a major involvement in rising photography, but due to his late declarartion does not share the credit to photography.

The daguerreotype gathered a lot of recognition in the entire industrial development, as the people demanded photographs for themselves. Photographs became highly well-known and most needed, but because of the limitation of daguerreotype like these photos were difficult to copy and were quiet fragile, George Eastman helped it out, in 1884, by using dry gel on paper. This became a convenient and reasonable way of photography. In the year 1888, Kodak camera came in the market which was released by Eastman with the slogan “You push the button, we do the rest”. This was a chief progress which fascinated the whole market, and with Kodak Brownie, in 1909, even a layman could capture pictures for you. Recently, the latest discoveries has popularized digital photography, but now what you enjoy the most of photography, which is the honest efforts and efforts of brilliant scientists in the past.
