  In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. He was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.

  The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.

  Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains.

  In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment. However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.

  Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous people. The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality. Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.

  In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film ready-made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.

  With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshots”.

  Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings.

  Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that photography could do more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

Dịch bài đọc:

Vào năm 1826, Người Pháp đã đặt tên Niépce cần hình ảnh cho công ty của anh ấy. Anh ấy không phải là nghệ sĩ tài năng, vì thế anh ấy phát minh máy ảnh rất đơn giản. Anh ấy đặt nó trong cửa sổ của nhà của anh ấy và chụp hình sân của anh ấy. Đó là ảnh đầu tiên.

Quan trọng tới ngày trong lịch sử nghề nhiếp ảnh là 1837. Năm đó, Daguerre, Người Pháp khác, chụp hình vẽ của anh ấy. Anh ấy sử dụng mới loại của máy ảnh và quá trình khác. Ở hình ảnh của anh ấy, bạn thấy được mọi thứ rõ ràng, chi tiết nhỏ nhất dù. Loại ảnh này được gọi là phép chụp hình da - ge.

Sớm, người khác bắt đầu sử dụng tiến trình của Daguerre. Khách bộ hành mang lại phép chụp hình da - ge từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Mọi người chụp ảnh toà nhà nổi tiếng, thành phố, và núi.

Trong khoảng 1840, quá trình đã được cải thiện. Sau đó nhiếp ảnh gia có thể chụp hình mọi người và di chuyển những thứ. Quá trình không đơn giản và nhiếp ảnh gia phải mang nhiều phim và chế biến thiết bị. Tuy nhiên, này không nhiếp ảnh gia dừng, nhất là ở Hoa Kỳ. Sau năm 1840, nghệ sĩ phép chụp hình da - ge phổ biến trong hầu hết thành phố.

Matthew Brady là một nhiếp ảnh gia Mỹ nổi tiếng. Anh ấy chụp chân dung những người nổi tiếng. Chân dung trông khác thường vì họ giống như thật và đầy tính cách. Brady cũng là người đầu tiên chụp hình chiến tranh. Bức tranh của anh ấy về cuộc nội chiến 1862 cho thấy chiến sĩ tử trận và thành phố bị hư hỏng. Họ làm chiến tranh trông có vẻ thực và ̣khủng khiếp hơn.

Vào những năm 1880, phát minh mới bắt đầu thay đổi nghề nhiếp ảnh. Nhiếp ảnh gia có thể mua phim sẵn sàng - làm trong cuộn, thay vì phải tự làm phim. Hơn nữa, họ chẳng cần phải xử lý phim ngay lập tức. Họ có thể đưa nó trở về với trường quay của họ và phát triển sau này. Họ chẳng cần phải mang nhiều thiết bị. Và cuối cùng, phát minh máy ảnh cầm tay nhỏ làm nghề nhiếp ảnh ít đắt đỏ hơn.

Với máy ảnh nhỏ, ai cũng có thể là nhiếp ảnh gia. Mọi người bắt đầu sử dụng máy quay phim chỉ để cho vui. Họ chụp hình gia đình của họ, bạn bè, và nơi được yêu thích nhất. Họ gọi hình ảnh này" ảnh chụp nhanh".

Ảnh phim tài liệu trở thành phổ biến trong báo chí vào những năm 1890. Sớm tạp chí và sách cũng sử dụng chúng. Hình ảnh này cho thấy sự kiện đúng và mọi người. Họ thực sự hơn rất nhiều so với bản vẽ.

Một số người bắt đầu nghĩ nghề nhiếp ảnh là một loại hình nghệ thuật. Họ nghĩ rằng nghề nhiếp ảnh có thể làm nhiều hơn cho thấy thế giới thực. Nó cũng cho thấy khái niệm và tình cảm, như loại hình nghệ thuật khác

  Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous people. The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality. Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.

  In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film ready-made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.

  With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshots”.

  Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings.

  Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that photography could do more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
