The Very First Amateur Photography Was Surprisingly Beautiful

Buzzed documented the incredible beginning timeline of photography, which really took off in 1888 due to Kodak's release of the first commercial camera. The article listed numerous photographs that were taken simply to document what was going on around them. However, it is apparent that many of these photographs look as if they were taken by skilled photographs even though they were amateurs. It's incredible to be able to have a way to look back in time and see how drastically different it was. The photograph's antique looking aesthetic, although it is natural, appears to give off an edited look which falls in line with many modern day photographer's goals.
