Photography can turn something ordinary into extraordinary, photography transforms what it describes.

Camera Obscura is when you have a blacked out room, with a tiny hole from the outside world showing the light into the room. After around 1-2 hours of patiently waiting, there will show an upside down natural photo of exactly what is on the other side of the hole in the wall. a darkened box with a convex lens or aperture for projecting the image of an external object on to a screen inside, a forerunner of the modern camera.

A Pinhole camera works because the small hole you made with your pin, paper clip, or pencil acts like a tiny camera lens. Light from the Sun enters the pinhole (or the holes in an object like a colander), it gets focused, and then it is projected out of the other side of the hole.

Photography captures live nature. Romantism is about nature too. The Camera’s were shoebox size and named mousetraps. Fix the shadows. They used the same plate in the camera that was the final plate with the image on that gets polished and cleaned.

Nicéphore Niepce & Heliography
In 1826, Niépce used his heliography process to capture the first photograph, but his pioneering work was soon to be overshadowed by the invention of the daguerreotype. Joseph Nicéphore Niépce was one of the most important figures in the invention of photography.
