History of photography

Answer 1

Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries. Long before the first photographs were made, Chinese philosopher Mo Di and Greek mathematicians Aristotle  and Euclid  described a pinhole camera in the 5th and 4th centuries BC.[6][7]  In the 6th century CE, Byzantine mathematician Anthemius of Tralles used a type of camera obscura in his experiments,[8]  Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) (965–1040) studied the camera obscura and pinhole camera,[7][9]  Albertus Magnus (1193–1280) discovered silver nitrate,[10]  and Georges Fabricius (1516–1571) discovered silver chloride.[11]  Daniele Barbaro described a diaphragm in 1568.[12]  Wilhelm Homberg described how light darkened some chemicals (photochemical effect) in 1694.[13]  The fiction book Giphantie, published in 1760, by French author Tiphaigne de la Roche, described what can be interpreted as photography.[12]
