photography- The word Photography literally means ‘drawing with light’, which derives from the Greek photo, meaning light and graph, meaning to draw. Photography is the process of recording an image – a photograph – on light sensitive film or, in the case of digital photography, via a digital electronic or magnetic memory.

in 1826 Joseph Nicéphore Niépce took the world’s first photograph with the first proper camera when he took a picture from the upstairs windows in his burgundy estate titled “View from the Window at Le Gras

10 years earlier Joseph invented the first ever recognised camera the heliograph, the reason is is the first recognised camera is because it created the first photograph to last till today with the help of the camera obscura

A camera obscura is a darkened room with a small hole or lens at one side through which an image is projected onto a wall or table opposite the hole. The image of lensless camera obscuras is also referred to as “pinhole image”
