A gorgeously illustrated history of photography told through the evolution of photographic equipment, showing how the development of the camera affected both the art and science of photography.
Through a selection of fifty landmark cameras, this book tells the story of how this ground-breaking piece of equipment changed the way we saw the world around us. Beginning with Louis Daguerre's daguerreotype of 1839, other entries include the Brownie (1900), the Kodak Instamatic 100 (1963), the Polaroid SX-70 (1972) and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III (2012).
As well as placing each model in its historical context, the book describes the people who created and used them and the kind of photos they produced, from Weegee and his Speed Graphic to Cartier-Bresson and the Leica's role in the invention of photojournalism.
