While we all probably know photography has existed for years, it may come as a shock that it actually dates back to the early 19th century. Interestingly, the first known photographs were captured on metal plates by inventors like Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Daguerre. Over the years, cameras have become smaller, faster, and more sophisticated, which has helped turn photography into an accessible art form.
