Historical photo slideshow (Part 12)

Photography was not always considered an art form. In fact, it was only when the 20th century came around that photographers started to take their work more seriously and began exhibiting their works in galleries.

The invention of the camera in 1839 by Louis Daguerre marked a significant event in history. This was because it was one of the first machines that could record a scene on film.

The camera was made with silver-plated copper sheets coated with light-sensitive chemicals called silver halides or crystals (this is what we call film). These chemicals reacted to light and changed it into an invisible form that could be stored on the surface of film, later to be developed into an image by adding more chemicals and heating them up (this process is called development).
