Photography
Invented by Joseph Niépce in 1826, photography is based on two types of knowledge: optics, allowing an image to be captured and delivered, and chemistry used to fix it on a surface. Its inventor died in 1833, but Louis Daguerre continued his research to discover the development of the latent image reducing exposure time. At the end of the 19th century, Eastman Kodak democratized film photography by making it possible to take many photos in less time. Photography continues to evolve with the inventions of color, film, relief photos, and digital photos, or even synthesis, etc.

The history of photography in a few words
An Iraqi scientist created the first camera in history, the camera obscura, in the early 11th century. The first surviving photograph was taken in 1826 by a French photographer, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, who used a portable camera obscura to capture the iconic image known as the "Point de vue du Gras."
