Photography
The origin of the photography is older than what you think. It was officially born in 1839, but Aristotele was the first to notice that the light can project an image through a small hole. In 1039 an arabic researcher was the first person to use the term “camera obscura”, a word used by Leonardo da Vinci too.
The photography was first used for political and institutional affair, but it became quickly a multidisciplinary technique and, now, it is considered a full-fledged form of art. This kind of photography is called fine art photography. In XIX Century, photography includes different sectors like fashion, art, journalism, still life, street photography, food photography and other many different genres.
For sure, today photography is part of our daily routine and we are all a kind of reporter of the present day.
