Articles on Photography 
Photography is the art or process of producing images by the action of light on surfaces sensitized by chemical processes. The term 'Photography' comes from the Greek words photos (light) and graphos (drawing). A photograph is made with a camera by exposing film to light in order to create a negative. The negative is then used in the darkroom to print a photograph (positive) onto light-sensitive paper.
During the 1830s at least four people working independently succeeded in making photographs. In 1839 Frenchman Louis Daguerre's invention, the Daguerreotype, was made public. It produced a one-of-a-kind picture on metal. But it was Englishman William Henry Talbot's invention, the Calotype (1840), which caught on. It produced a negative picture on paper - the lights of the image were recorded as darks, the darks as lights.
