FROM THE FIRST PHOTO IN THE HISTORY TO THE FIRST PHOTO IN INSTAGRAM
Although the term photography started in the 19th century, with Greek mathematicians making pinhole cameras from the 4th century BCE, the history of photography is full of important innovations, from the oldest photograph in the world to the first photo sent to Instagram.

The first photograph in the world, or at least the oldest one that survived, was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826. The photo was taken from a window on the upper floor of Niépce’s estate in Burgundy. It is part of the permanent collection of the University of Texas-Austin.
THE First self-portrait (selfie)
We can get used to and know what a selfie is, but it is the 1839 photo by Robert Cornelius that indicates to be the first self-portrait. Taken in Philadelphia, Cornelius sat for just over a minute to get the selfie.
OLDEST Photo of the Sun
Just five years after the first photo of the moon, physicists Louis Fizeau and Leon Foucault took the first photo of the sun in April 1845. In the photo, it is possible to observe sunspots.
THE FIRST AERIAL PHOTO
The first aerial photograph was not taken by drone, but from a hot air balloon in 1860 by photographer James Wallace Black. This aerial photograph depicts the city of Boston at 2,000 feet above sea level. The photographer titled his work “Boston, as the Eagle and the Wild Goose see it”.
The First Colored Photo
The first color photograph was taken by mathematician physicist James Clerk Maxwell. It is considered the first color photograph and was developed by Maxwell in a lecture in 1861. For those who have difficulties in perceiving the photo, it is a three-color arch.
The First Colored Landscape Photo
The first color landscape was taken in 1877 by photographer Louis Arthur Ducos du Hauron. The photograph depicts the south of France and is appropriately titled “Landscape of the South of France”.
