I found a help site on the Oxford Art Online database. Its called Photography "History & Influence", this here gives a very large and detailed passage about the early stages of photography and photos taken as well. Tells us about two main systems that were used for making the first photos which are the daguerreotype and the calotype. Using these two systems Nicephore niepce and his partner produced pictures on silver coated copper plate.
The first system of making photos became more popular over time with the public than the calotype because it was more simple to use however soon became a problem because it took way too long for the photos to come out just right, expecially for portraits.
This is only some of the facts i found about the camera back in the day and history with photography.
