Photography might be a young art for all intents and purposes, but that doesn’t mean its history is anything less than complicated. Thankfully, if you don’t care to take a semster-long course on how photography came to be, COOPH has created a helpful video that breaks down the history of photography in just five minutes.
In it, we get a glimpse of how photography came to be, from a science to an art, as well as some of the most prominent figures who have helped it develop into what it is today.
It’s a great video, whether you’re a veteran or newbie.
