Photo timeline

Johann Heinrich Schulze - 1727

• He was a professor of anatomy• After a number of experiments and test he discovered that silver salts,

specifically a piece of chalk dipped in silver nitrate turned black from white when exposed to the sun

• The other side still remained white

Joseph Niepce - 1814

• He was a French inventor• Now usually credited as the inventor of photography and a

pioneer in that field• Niépce developed heliography, a technique he used to create

the world's oldest surviving product of a photographic process: a print made from a photoengraved printing plate in 1825.

Louis Daguerre - 1837

• He also was a French artist and photographer• Recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process

of photography

William Henry Talbot - 1841

• William Henry Fox Talbot (11 February 1800 – 17 September 1877) was a British inventor and photography pioneer who invented the collotype process, a precursor to photographic processes of the 19th and 20th centuries. 

Collodion process

• The collodion process is an early photographic process, invented by Frederick Scott Archer. It was introduced in the 1850s and by the end of that decade it had almost entirely replaced the first practical photographic process, the daguerreotype. 

Richard Leach Maddox

• Up until this time pictures had to be developed immediately after being taken. Richard Leach Maddox invented the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process, which made it possible to take a picture and develop it later.

George Eastman

• George Eastman (July 12, 1854 – March 14, 1932) was an American innovator and entrepreneur who founded the Eastman Kodak Company and popularized the use of roll film, helping to bring photography to the mainstream.

The Polaroid camera

The instant camera is a type of camera that generates a developed film image. The most popular types to use self-developing film were formerly made by Polaroid Corporation.

Coloured film

Colour photography is photography that uses media capable of reproducing colours, which are traditionally produced chemically during the photographic processing phase. By contrast, black-and-white photography records only a single channel of brightness and uses media capable only of showing shades of grey.
