A brief history of photography

150 for more than 50 years, the birth of photography was accompanied by the development of European capitalism. It has gone through a process from simple to complex, from low speed to high speed, from manual to automation. But it is always inseparable from the traditional mode of camera and film, which has been passed down from generation to generation until today. 100 years, people have been trying to find a new photosensitive material and a more convenient and practical photography method to replace the complex and outdated traditional photography method.

Since the end of the 20th century, with the rapid popularization of computers in various fields, the digital age has arrived, which has brought new impacts to people's work and life.
