EVOLUTION OF PHOTOGRAPHY - IMPORTANT EVENTS IN PHOTOGRAPHY HISTORY. Photography is a method of producing images (in any form) by recording light or some other electromagnetic radiation. Word photography comes from the Greek φωτός (phōtos), meaning light and γραφή (graphé) which means drawing and has a meaning of History of photography begins when we noticed that a light that pas*es through a small hole behaves weird. A few thousand years later we found chemicals that darken when exposed to light and after that was all a matter of experimenting. There are at least as many types of photography as there are genres of art. Some are artistic, some are docu*ental, some capture infinitely large objects while some take images of infinitely small.

Not all of them had an idea that worked but without them there would be no photography as we know it today. Photography, when it first appeared in 19th century, used a few different technologies that existed for thousands of years. Chinese philosopher Mo Ti and Greek mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid knew about pinhole camera in the 5th century BC and Byzantine mathematician Anthemius of Tralles used a camera obscura in his experiments in 6th century. Pinhole camera is a box that has a pinhole aperture on one side and is completely dark inside. When light pas*es through a pinhole it projects an inverted image on a wall opposite of a pinhole. This is a simple camera and it has no lens. Some pinhole cameras can be found in nature (for instance in caves). Camera obscura works on a similar principle but it often has a lens, through which light pas*es, and a mirror which inverts and projects the image at the top of the box. It was used as a drawing aid. Albertus Magnus discovered silver nitrate in 13th century, while Georg Fabricius discovered silver chloride in 16th century. These chemicals are sensitive to light and will be used in photography.
