1. Timeline of Photography
By Shola Welch

2. Camera Obscura
Camera obscuras were first used from 470 to
390 BCE. They are used to project an image from
their surroundings onto a screen. It consists of a
box or a room with a hole in one side, light from
an external scene passes through the hole and
hits a surface inside. Where it is then re-
produced upside down. It can then be projected
onto paper and then traced to a highly accurate
representative.
470 to 390 BCE

3. 16th century
• Brightness and clarity of camera obscuras was
improved by enlarging the hole inserting a
telescope lens into the camer obscura.
In the 17th century camera obscuars
were more frequently used my artists,
and made portable in the form of
sedan chairs.

5. First ever permanent photograph
The first ever permanent photograph took 8
hours to make. The method for making it is the
following : put a silver coin in nitric acid, when
the coin has dissolved add cooking salt. Then
paint it onto paper 6 times.
As soon as he found out that this worked they
could put photos onto nickel, metal, and glass.
1727

6. Giphantie
• Before the stages that led to the development of
photography, there is one amazing, prediction made by
a man called de la Roche in 1729- 1774 in a work
called Giphantie, this was a tale where you were able
to catch imgaes of nature on a canvas which had been
coated with a sticky substance. This surface, so they
say, would not only provide a mirror image on the
sticky canvas, but would remain on it. After it had been
dried in the dark the image would remain permanent.
The author would not have known how certain this
prediction would be, only a few decades after his
death.
1729

• The first ever permanent photograph took 8
hours to develop. The method for this was to
put a silver coin in nitric acid and when it had

onto nickel, metal glass and paper. This was
made by French inventor Joseph Nicéphore
