Two Centuries of Photography: From First Image to Popular Snapshots
The 200th anniversary of the first photograph marks a milestone in visual history, beginning with French inventor Nicephore Niepce's 1826 heliography, which required hours of exposure and captured static scenes. His work was advanced by Louis Daguerre's daguerreotype, producing clearer images in shorter times. Early photography evolved from scientific experimentation to widespread use, including notable moments like the first selfie and the Kodak Brownie camera's introduction, which popularized snapshots for personal memories.
