When the whole house is darkened and a small hole is made in the wall, the whole scene from outside is reflected and moves inside the house through the walls, just like what we see through many projectors. For those who do not believe me, search Google camera obscura. I didn't even know it a few days ago. But later I remembered that I had read this thing in a physics book while in school. But I couldn't catch the fact that it's so nice. I needed to read so I stumbled and fell.

The fact of the matter is that this is the basic principle of the camera. I was surprised to hear that people had known this theory since the time of Aristotle. They knew how to look inside the house with the help of reflection but they did not know how to record the picture. Then the lens is discovered. With the help of a lens it is possible to reduce the huge reflections on the walls. This makes it easier for artists to draw references.

In 1839, Louis Daguerre painted a relatively clear picture of the streets of Paris. It takes 10 minutes. He announced the method of image capture. The French government bought the rights to Daguer's type of photography.
Around the same time, William Henry Fox Talbot invented a different way to capture images. His method is called calo type.

The French government introduced the Daguerre type, which quickly became popular. In those days, people started going to the studio in groups to take real pictures of their appearance. Although it took 10 minutes to take pictures, but what happened, portrait became very popular. Not only myself, but also friends and family came to take pictures. But it was not possible to keep the focus on the camera because it took 10 minutes. That's why in the previous day's film, everyone's eyes were anxious.
As photography became more popular, multiple copies of the same photo were required. This was the weakness of Daguerre's type. It was not possible to copy the image in this way. A lot of βOne Piece Made Craftsman Deadβ type. On the other hand, it was possible to copy the photo in black type. So gradually the Kalo type became popular.
In the nineteenth century, portrait, travel photography and war photography were more prevalent.
There is a lot of difference between the war picture of that time and the war picture of today. Those pictures are very still and frozen, meaning that everything that happened is already done. The reason was that in those days it took 10 minutes to take a picture and it was no less happy to take a picture and make a dark room and wash it immediately. So all the pictures were from before or after the war.

In 18, George Eastman's Kodak box camera caused a stir around the world. This is the first easy-to-carry, easy-to-use camera for everyone. Because this camera uses 100 film rolls with which after taking the picture, after sending the camera to the company's address, the company would wash 100 pictures and fill a new roll and deliver it back to the customer. In this case, the photographer did not have to make a dark room by himself and wash the pictures with lots and lots of chemicals. As a result, the whole process became much easier.

Gradually, with the advent of the camera, photography became more popular as a document, a witness to social change, a witness to war, and a medium for photojournalism.
Henry Cartier Bresson used to take different pictures than anyone else. He was simultaneously an artist, philosopher, and photographer. His picture has a small moving posture of special moments with nice composition which gives life to the whole picture.
Margaret Bork White was the first female war photographer. Dorothy Lange, Joe Rosenthal, Eddie Adam, Georgi Zelma were all photographers of war and journalism.
