Overview

Art of Photography Part 1: The History of the Camera

Starting back as far as the middle ages was the “camera obscura”. In the early 1800's, two Frenchmen took this simple concept and developed the first camera, creating the first photographs. Over the next few decades, the camera was further developed with lenses and film and eventually color! We talked about the importance of light, fun photograph facts, and the amazing concept of how the camera replicas God’s design of the human eye.
