History of the Earliest Camera
Centuries before the invention of the first practical photographic process, artists had been using a device called a Camera Obscura, literally a dark chamber, as an aid in rendering proper perspective or tracing a scene. Originally, in fact, it was a dark room with a small opening in an outside wall. The image of an illuminated object outside the room passed through the hole and was reproduced, upside down and in small scale, on an opposite wall.

According to the researchers the inventor of the very first camera was quite confusing to find. Some of the people say that the inventor of the first camera was a Chinese philosopher. However, the principle of making pictures was created by Joseph Nicephore Neipce and managed to make a photographic image in about 1826. Joseph Nicephore Neipce succeeded by coating the wall with a light sensitive asphalt. His colleague Louis Daguerre built on this work. He sensitized a silvered plate with iodine vapor, exposed the plate to light, and then developed the image with mercury vapor. Daguerre and Niepce also experimented with an early form of color photography, but lasting results eluded them. The black a Daguerre type, however, became popular through out the world and led to modern black and white photography. As you can see, according to the researchers they cannot prove the first inventor of the camera because it wasn’t put in record. (Illustrated Encyclopedia of Science and Nature, 1990)
How it was invented?
A camera is a device that directs an image focused by a lens or other optical onto a photosensitive surface housed in a light – tight enclosure. In this very basic sense, these components perform the same function today that they did when photography was invented nearly 150 years ago. In simple cameras the lens is generally of the fixed – focus variety no provision is made to focus on objects at varying distances from the camera. More complicated cameras
