Why did they invent photography?

Answer 1

Photography was created because when Isaac newton realized their are different colours in white, different scientists began to experiment with white and its colours leading to the creation of photography.

Answer 2

Nobody invented the art of photography but it developed over time...

a) Joseph Nicephore Niepce was credited with the first successful and permanent photography. He was also known for his discovery of heliography "writing with sunlight"

b) Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre is called the "Father of Photography" (I think for know because I am doing this with my memory so do not trust me on this part...I guess...) he and Niepce were in collaboration but then, Niepce died*.

c) I believe that the first photographic process...err...well camera was camera obscura...which is darkened chamber in Latin

d) Sir Richard Gotleib was considered the fist person to define the word photography...

*I have to say this, but NIEPCE RULE!!! I think that,which he did, Daguerre stole Niepce's work he left behind(excuse me for my grammer...it is not much since I came from Another Country)....well good luck..I hope this helped even though it is late?!
