The History of Camera

The very first type of camera was called a camera obscura, or a


pinhole camera. It's difficult to tell who exactly invented this type
of camera, although some evidence suggests it was the Chinese
philosopher Mozi, who lived between 470 and 390 BCE.
The earliest actual photograph was taken by Joseph Nicephore
Niepce in 1827.
