Aristotle (347 – 322 BC)
He was the one who succeeded in recording the principle that light entering through a small hole produces an inverted image or figure.
Aristotle (347 – 322 BC)
An Arabian scholar who found out that light entering a small hole on the wall or shuttered window of a darkened room cast an upside down picture of the scene outside onto the opposite wall.

Alhazen “Ibn Al –

Daniele Matteo Alvise Barbaro (1568) wrote a book entitled ____ on perspective for artists and architects. This work describes how to use a lens with a camera obscura.
“La pratica della perspettiva”

Daniele Matteo Alvise Barbaro (1568)
An English Philosopher, Mathematician, and Physicist who discovered and proved that the strongest light is white light.
Sir Isaac Newton
(1666)
He defended his theory by allowing a white light (sunlight) to pass through a prism thus refracting and diffracting the light onto different colors.
Sir Isaac Newton
(1666)
A German Scientist (Anatomist) discovered the Silver Nitrate when he exposed it to light it turns purple. ; he discovered that the evening action was not due to the heat but light. He finally concluded that silver nitrate is sensitive to light and capable of producing images.
Johann Heinrich
Schulze (1727)
An artist and scientist who in his Pseudo Science Magic had made use of the Camera Obscura and replaced the hole with a lens which made the image brighter and sharper.
Jean Baptiste Forta (1748 – 1796)
He was the first one who introduced the lens.
Jean Baptiste Forta (1748 – 1796)

Thomas Wedgwood (1802)
He invented a photographic process which he called heliography meaning writing of the sun. (8hrs)
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (1816)
He coined the term photographie.
Hercules Florence (1834)

He invented a process called Calotype, a photographic process by which a large number of prints could be produced from a paper negative. (3-15 mins)
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He succeeded in contact printings made in his miniature cameras (mouse – trap cameras) through a process called photogenic drawing.
William Henry Fox Talbot (1839)
He coined the term Photography and applied the terms negative and positive to photography.
John Frederick
William Herschel (1839)
He made improvements in photographic processes, particularly in inventing the Cyanotype process using Ferric Ammonium Citrate and Potassium
Ferricyanide, the precursors of the modern blueprint process.
John Frederick
William Herschel (1839)
Father of Photography.
John Frederick
William Herschel (1839)
