Photography, a visual art form that revolutionized our way of seeing and understanding the world, originated in 1839 with the innovation of Louis Daguerre. Since then, photography has become an essential artistic medium, enabling artists to capture the present moment, tell stories, and evoke emotions through a single image. In 1889, Eastman Kodak introduced a portable camera with film, elevating photography to a new dimension. Artists embraced this opportunity, and art photography progressed rapidly.
Unlike traditional mediums such as painting or sculpture, photography offers unprecedented accessibility for creators and collectors, democratizing art across eras.
Iconic figures of the 20th century, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Diane Arbus, Vivian Maier, Annie Leibovitz, and Robert Doisneau, have left their mark on photography’s history by immortalizing everyday moments while providing a unique perspective on the society of their time. Today, photography continues to evolve, enriched by digital advances, opening new creative possibilities for contemporary artists.
