Short history of photography

Without no doubt, photography as a media is developed extremely fast and unpredictable. For me, it was surprising to know some facts about its history. The first thing is that previously photography was considered by individuals as science rather than art. The probable explanation, which i see, is that the word itself suggests drawing with the light or creation shape of the light. To put is differently, awareness of the camera's settings, lighting and geometric rules are crucial if a person want to be a photographer. But simultaneously, each image should contain social, political or cultural message to transmit. Because of this photography was reconsidered as art. During this term, i tried to apply my theoretical knowledge of photography and its history to develop practical and aesthetic skills with generating meaning that i would like to bring through specific style.
