History of the World’s First Camera

Evolution of the Camera

Short History

It is quite interesting to analyze the progress the camera has made from when it was first invented to what it is today. The history behind the invention of the modern camera involves many people. Some of the people spent a decade attempting to come up with a camera. The inventors strived to develop a more superior camera than the cameras developed before. In 1021, Iraqi scientist and writer Ibn described a device which resembles a camera in many aspects, in his book titled “Book of Optics,” marking the beginning of the thousand-mile journey involved in the development of the modern camera. In fact, the quality of cameras keeps improving day after day.

First Camera Inventor

The first portable camera was designed by Johann Zahn in 1685. Not much progress was made in the development for up to approximately 130 years later. Most of the attempts to make cameras in between were futile. It was not until the year 1814 when Joseph Nicephore Niepce clicked the first photograph. The credit for the invention of the first camera is therefore co-shared between Johann Zahn and Joseph Nicephore Niepce. The photo taken by Nicephore was not permanent. It was taken using a camera he made on his own, on a paper coated with silver chloride. The regions that were not exposed to light on the paper became dark.

Kodak company was the first who sold the first commercial camera in 1888. While world’s first photograph was taken in 1826.
