History of Photography

In 10th century, an Arabian scientist Ibn al-Haytham (also known as Alhazen) described the first Camera Obscura principle. Since then over the centuries, photography has advanced so much that today we can take photos with tiny cameras, or mobile phones.

Here is a brief history of photography described in an infographic.
