Photography is known as the art of replicating
pictures of people, objects or places in their exact likeness. These
images can be transferred onto any photosensitive material and
includes printing pictures as well.
The Source of photography is unquestionably the camera
- the instrument or
device that works on the principle of optics. Since the time the first camera
was made, photography techniques have undergone extraordinary changes. The
first models did not
contain the film, but instead, consisted of a small light-shield box with
lens and translucent screen on either side. The image that traveled through the lens was stored on the screen
known as
'camera obscura'. The beginning of photogram came about when scientists discovered the quality of silver nitrate
that changes its color when exposed to light. This would become a method to
store images more permanently.
After this incredible founding they would place objects on the paper dipped in silver nitrate
and expose it to the sunlight. After a while the area covered
under the object stayed white while the rest of the space turned
black. The outcome of this meant that the image formed was temporary - needless
to say this method
did not last long.

As time went by, the principles, methods and the material
used in photography went through several changes. After
some experimenting with various methods like Daguerre and calotype,
they decided on collodion (also named the wet plate technique).
Modern day photography has made it possible to capture and preserve
special moments, like birthday parties and weddings, to name but a
few. History became more authentic with pictures, and photographs
served as evidence in many cases. With the unbelievable technological advances in the art of
photography, it is no more just fun and frolic but has taken on the dimensions of a full-time
profession.
