Camera Obscura

The study presents historical context, examining the philosophical and scientific environment of each era, from the ancient Greeks to Renaissance artists using the camera obscura as a drawing aid.
It traces the evolution of the camera obscura through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, while examining the early findings of light-sensitive materials.

By focusing on the often-overlooked contributions of early scientists and artists, the book provides a fresh perspective on the history of photography, connecting these developments to the work of figures like Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Daguerre.
