George Eastman was on of the first to realize the potential of dry plates . He invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass-produce photographic dry plates in 1879. He began commercial production and in 1881 started the Eastman dry plate company. In 1884 Eastman negative paper was introduced. One year later Eastman American Film was introduced which was the first transparent photographic film as we know it today. In 1888 this became Kodak and the first Kodak camera was released to the public. this camera was the start of amateur photography as we know it today. Another major impact that Kodak had on photography was the introduction of the brownie camera. It was sold for $1 and used film that sold for 15 cents a roll. This meant that for the first time,photography was within the financial reach of virtually everyone.

Created by Louis Jacques-Mande Daguerre, the daguerreotype process is a further development of Nicèphore Nièpce work. He used the same process however he manage to cut the exposure time down from several days to only requiring minutes.

Fox Talbot presented his 'art of photogenic drawing' just three weeks after Louis Daguerre displayed his 'Daguerreotypes'. His process was based on paper that had been made light sensitive, rather than bitumen or copper-paper which was used previously.Fox Talbot delevoped the three primary elements of photography. Developing, fixing and printing. while using this method he released that there was an image after a very short exposure period even though it could not be seen. He found that he could chemically develop this into a negative which he could then create as many useful positive prints from. He called this process calotype and patented it in 1841.

The first ever photo was taken by Nicèphore Nièpce in 1826. Nicèphore Nièpce discoverd that he could use asphalt which hardened when exposed to light mixed with a thinner and paint it onto a piece of metal. he would then expose this in a camera obscura and the would wash away the apshalt that did not harden which would leave the image behind.

A camera obscura is an optical device that led to photography. The camera obscura consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and rotated 180 degrees, The image can be projected onto paper, and can then be traced to produce a highly accurate representation.
