The first concept for "frozen images," which would become the grounds for modern-day photography, was articulated by an Arab scholar Ibn Al-Haytham. This is the concept of the camera obscura. The camera obscura did not take photographs but instead focused light through a small hole and projected it onto a screen. Although Al-Haytham articulated this, the concept has been seen in many Chinese texts from 400 B.C. and Aristotle's writings. This would set off a spark to begin the road to modern-day photography.

Nicéphore Niépce had been fascinated with the concept of the camera obscura and begun testing various substances. Through his experiments, he found “Bitumen of Judea” mixed with pewter was the best material to make the film for a camera. By pairing his camera obscure box with his new "film" he could create a permanent image on its surface. He would then partner with his good friend Louis Daguerre to further his exploration.

Piggybacking off of his partner Nicéphore Niépce, Louis Daguerre designed the daguerreotype, which used a plate with a thin film of silver iodide, which produced positive images which differed from his partner's negative images but simultaneously, Henry Fox Talbot was also developing the calotype. Talbot's design used writing paper soaked in table salt and then brushed lightly with silver nitrate. These images could be "waxed" to save the image; this process also produced negative images. Although the calotype would The daguerreotype would win out for public favor in the long run as the photos were clearer and more detailed than Talbot's design.

An SLR is a single reflex camera. The camera contained a reflex mirror that allowed people to look through the camera's lens and view the exact image they were about to take, which was a turn from the slightly obscured image they would view through a lens in a twin-reflex camera. Although the SLR technology was much superior to the technology of photography at the time, it was an expensive product to both purchase and create. For this reason, many companies avoided making them. Still, SLRs were highly coveted by wealthy photographers and would be the standard for many professional photographers, and over time the SLRs would become more and more popular.

The Kodak camera was the first roll film camera. It used a single roll of paper fill which could hold up to 100 photos per roll. The Kodak camera captured negative images like the Calotype, but it was sharp like the daguerreotypes. With the slogan "you take the photo...we do the rest," user could take their photos with the Kodak camera and send them to the Eastman Kodak Company, where their images would be developed. The Kodak was relatively inexpensive, making it highly accessible to the middle class, which pushed the Eastman Kodak Company into being one of the biggest companies in America.

Invented by Edwin Land and his Polaroid Corporation, the polaroid camera was created to be an instant camera. Users could take an image, and instead of having another company develop the film for them, the camera would produce the photograph for them. Fun Fact! Many people do not realize that "Polaroid" was also a brand, not just the camera itself.

The first color photograph was captured by Thomas Sutton who using three separate monochrome plates. This was brought about by his want to use them in his lectures of James Maxwell who realized you could make any visible color with a combination of Red, Green, and Blue. This is why RGB values are everywhere in modern photography especially when editing images.

A significant problem for any regular camera user could be the inability to focus on images effectively. To solve this problem, camera manufacturers could use additional mirrors and electronic sensors to determine the ultimate placement of the lens and small motors to manipulate them automatically. The first camera to see this improvement was the Polaroid SX-70, and by the mid-eighties, most high-end SLRs would have autofocus as a standard.

The first phone camera was on the Kyocera VP-210. It included a 110,000-pixel camera and a 2-inch color screen to view the photos. Digital cameras quickly followed it up from Sharp and Samsung. This was a significant step in the photography world as people could now have their own pocket-sized camera in the back of their pockets, and it was not solely for photography but also doubled as a telephone.
