People photography

Abstract

The word "photography" is adapted from the Greek words for "light" and "writing". The following people have contributed with the developing of photography: Joseph Nicephore Niepce, Louis J.M. Daguerre, and Hippolyte Bayard in France and William Henry Talbot in England. Daguerre's invention, (made public on 19 August 1839), was one of a kind picture on metal- in contrast to Talbot's invention of a negative made on paper and then later a positive. It became famous in 1840. After all of this, the gateway to photography was opened. In this essay I am going to concentrate more on the history of people photography, mainly concentrating on black and white photography.
