Today marks 180 years of Photography. Photography first originated in France in 1939 by Louis Daguerre. Louis Daguerre, one of the first founders of photography, invented what was then called the daguerreotype, a photographic process that used to be the practicable method of obtaining permanent images with a camera. On August 19, 1839, the French government announced the invention of photography as a gift free to the world. However, before the daguerreotype, the first photographic process \u2014 heliography \u2014 was invented around 1824 by Nic\u00e9phore Ni\u00e9pce.<\/a> Images were obtained with bitumen of Judea spread on a silver plate after an exposure time of several days. Soon came the Kodak founder, Georges Eastman, and then came the Lumiere brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumiere the first filmmakers and cinematographers in history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the world’s first photograph or at least, the oldest surviving photo that was taken by Joseph Nic\u00e9phore Ni\u00e9pce in 1826 or 1827. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Back then, developing photographs were done in special rooms called “darkrooms” where they had to leave the fixer in the tank for a couple of minutes. Today, with the rising of digital technology, everything is done in a faster, more efficient and productive way. Back then, photographers used techniques that involve manipulation to edit the photos, such as retouching with ink, paint, airbrushing, or scratching Polaroids during developing. Today, all this is being done simply by editing apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PicsArt is a collage maker and photo editing app that offers great tools, effects, free clipart library, millions of user-created stickers, and drawing tools.
