The history of the camera began even before the introduction of photography. Cameras evolved from the camera obscura through many generations of photographic technology – daguerreotypes, calotypes, dry plates, film – to the modern day with digital cameras and camera phones.
The first camera was invented in 1816 by French inventor Nicephore Niepce. His simple camera used paper coated with silver chloride, which would produce a negative of the image (dark where it should be light). Because of how silver chloride works, these images were not permanent.

An 1827 heliograph on a pewter plate still survives and is considered to be the oldest surviving photograph of a real-world scene.
In 1826/27, using a camera obscura fitted with a pewter plate, Niépce produced the first successful photograph from nature, a view of the courtyard of his country estate, Gras, from an upper window of the house.
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce took the first photo ever, "View from the Window at Le Gras," from his estate in France in 1826 or 1827 using a technique he'd invented called heliography and a camera obscura. Today, most of us walk around with an incredibly powerful camera in our pockets.
The French inventor Nicéphore Niépce is credited with creating the first camera for making photographic images in 1825. In his early experiments, he toyed with how a negative image could be created on paper coated with silver chloride, but these resulting images were temporary.
