The Cooperative of Photography has just released a fun video that boils the entire history of photography down into a 5-minute video. From the very beginning of pinhole-style cameras and the discovery of the camera, to the massive step forward with the Daguerreotype, to the discovery of digital photography, the video encapsulates the entire timeline of the advancement of photography.

Many professional photographers actually go back in time with their work, learn how to effectively use older photographic technologies, and create a style all-their-own predicated on outdated tech. One such example are the photographers who create and sell tintype portraits.
