The very first photo taken by a camera was between 1830-1840. These images absolutely changed the culture and the way people send information all over the world. For the first time in the world's history, you could see into a moment of time without being there. The rich and royalty were the first to have their photos taken and proved to be much more accurate than paintings. This allowed ordinary people to see their royalty and rulers like it was real life. The inventor was a British man Names Fox Talbot. Fox created his first image in 1934 using silver chloride and exposing it to the sun.
