But before all this there were a number of devices that were used for the same principle,for example before the very first permanent photographs were created there were things like camera lucida,camera obscura and the pinhole camera.Although these images were not permanent they all used the properties of reflection to create images on a surface and most importantly,light.

The first permanent photograph was created by French invented Joseph Niecephore Niepce in 1826, Simply by using a pewter plate coated in bitumen, the material hardened after a eight hour light exposure, the material that stayed soft Was washed away,The plate polished, and there the negative image was created.
