Background
The practical application of chemical photography was developed in the 1820s. The daguerrotype was developed in 1837 and later refined into a process that recorded images in less time. The plates used in making early photographs were replaced by film stock in 1884 when George Eastman, founder of Kodak, had a breakthrough in celluloid technology. The advancement of film continued until the late twentieth century, when the digital camera revolution began. Today, while film photography is still available and practiced by many professional photographers, digital photography has eclipsed the use of film in popular culture.scphoto.com: History - What is Photography?
