ATT: The technique that photography originated from dates back to the early-to-mid 1600s. It started from the camera’s predecessor, the camera obscura, which actually means "dark room" in Latin. It was a box with a pinhole at the front, and a glass screen at the opposite end. When light went through the pinhole, it formed an image on the glass. When viewing the screen of the obscura, an artist could trace the scene that was being projected, so it took some of the legwork out of drawing a scene. Later on, a lens was added to the obscura, because it added more sharpness to the image. Many famous artists of the Renaissance, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo, used the obscura to help them paint some of their most famous artwork. The first photograph Though the camera’s design has been around since the 1300s, film did not come around until the early 1800s. In the 1820s a French scientist named Joseph Niépce was looking for a way to improve lithography, a printing technique. He discovered a way to copy engravings onto glass using a variety of materials (mainly bitumen, a light-reacting asphalt). When light shined through paper, it burned an image into a dark bitumen, which created an almost identical image from the original. Because of this discovery, Niépce captured the first picture in 1826, which was called View from the Window at Le Gras. VORSCHNATOR is here to continue that legacy with more ADVANCED tools.
