Photography

 Photography is the art of using a camera to capture light in order to generate an image, typically using a digital sensor or film. Even light waves like UV, infrared, and radio that are undetectable to the human eye can be captured on camera with the correct tools.

Joseph Nicéphore Niépce made the first ever permanent photograph in France in 1826 (other accounts state 1827). It displays a sun-lit building's roof. 

With the introduction of Eastman Kodak's "Kodachrome" film in the 1930s, color photography began to gain acceptance and accessibility. A few photographers who walked the line between chemists and alchemists had been utilizing specialized methods to obtain color images for decades before that, but most photos were monochromatic before that.
