History of photography

The inventor of photography was a French man; Nicéphore Niépce. The day of his succession was in mid-1820s. Even he succeeded, and the earliest results were very crude .

However, even photography was invented in 1820s, first ever photography studio in east London opened in Stepney in the early 1850s. And only in 1900 photography became accessible to everyone. After world war photographs start showing changing life in East London, taking photographs of bomb sites, demolition and new housing. They showed hard lives of people living in east London.  They also start documenting child poverty and slum housing, and used to use in campaigns.

At that time photographs use to take pictures of changing London, but East London is still changing every day. Local people still photograph their communities and streets. The East London has gone from being the outsiders to hipster and luxury flats.
