The first permanent image created by a camera — which materialized during the 1820s — is attributed to Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. The French inventor was on to something for sure. Kodak introduced roll film in the 1880s, allowing photography to become more democratic, although cameras wouldn’t be universally accessible until several decades later.
Digital photographic techniques, software, smartphone cameras and social-networking platforms such as Instagram have made it even easier in the modern era for budding photographers to capture the world around them as well as disseminate their images far and wide.
What might leading figures of visual art such as Andy Warhol have done with these tools at their disposal?
Today, when we aren’t looking at the digital photos that inundate us on our phones, we look to the past to celebrate the photographers who have broken rules as well as records — provocative and prolific artists like Horst P. Horst, Lillian Bassman and Helmut Newton, who altered the face of fashion and portrait photography; visionary documentary photographers such as Gordon Parks, whose best-known work was guided by social justice; and pioneers of street photography such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, who shot for revolutionary travel magazines like Holiday with the likes of globetrotting society lensman Slim Aarons.
Find photographers you may not know in Introspective and The Study — where you’ll read about Berenice Abbott, who positioned herself atop skyscrapers for the perfect shot, or “conceptual artist-adventurer” Charles Lindsay, whose work combines scientific rigor with artistic expression, or Massimo Listri, known for his epic interiors of opulent Old World libraries. Photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron was given a Kodak camera as a child. Later, she shot on Polaroid film before buying her first 35mm camera in her teens. Barron's stunning portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Warhol and other artists chronicle a crucial chapter of New York’s cultural history.
Throughout the past two centuries, photographers have used their medium to create expressive work that has resonated for generations. Shop a voluminous collection of this powerful fine photography on 1stDibs. Search by photographer to find the perfect piece for your living room wall, or spend some time with the work organized under various categories, such as landscape photography, nude photography and more.

- What is automotive photography?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Automotive photography means that a photographer shoots cars in motion, intending to capture the vehicle's movement, speed and performance. This can be done through driving shots, panning to blur the motion, or other techniques to highlight movement.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The basic definition of photography is that it is a type of art that involves capturing an image with a camera. When the medium emerged in the 19th century, the captured images were on materials like silver-plated copper for daguerreotypes, the earliest available photographic process. Photographic film was later introduced, with the first flexible film rolls manufactured by George Eastman in 1885. With the rise of computers, many photographers now use digital cameras that store images on a memory card. The pictures can then be sent to a computer and edited with filters and effects to enhance the images. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of photography.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A "body of work" in photography is defined by the consistency of theme and vision. It's all about deciding what kind of work to use to reflect a style and a vision. And it’s a way of presenting your work that distinguishes your style — photographers think about their body of work as communicating a specific manner in which to see and represent things. Find a collection of vintage prints, paintings and photography on 1stDibs today.
