Photography – the emergence of light painting
The word photography comes from the ancient Greek words "photos" and "graphein". "Photos" means light and "graphein" stands for painting and writing. Put together, both mean something like “drawing with light”. This method of drawing with light, which has become indispensable today, was already being used to some extent in the 11th century, possibly even earlier, with the camera obscura. The camera obscura was first used by astronomers to observe constellations. In the 16th century, attempts were first made to put the light that was bundled with the help of lenses onto paper. It is believed that Dutch painters of the 15th century used the light experiments for their works in order to be able to depict more precisely.
At the beginning of the 19th century, a process for fixing reflections on copper plates was invented for the first time with the daguerreotype. Other alternative methods such as de cyanotopy then developed. As early as the end of the 19th century, photographs became affordable for a broader public thanks to their reproducibility. In the course of the 20th century, the imaging process developed rapidly and found its way into all areas of life. Digital photography at the end of the 20th century probably represented just as great a leap as from the camera obscura to the daguerreotype.
