Prvá fotografia uzrela svetlo sveta v roku 1826 a urobil ju Joseph Niépce. Za prvý film vďačíme bratom Lumierovcom, ktorí v roku 1895 zorganizovali prvé filmové predstavenie . Tieto počiatočné zázraky sa stále zlepšovali, a tak sa v dnešnej dobe môžeme tešiť z tých najdokonalejších fotografií a najlepších filmov. Na to, aby ste sa stali majstrom fotenia či odborníkom na filmy, potrebujete knihy, ktoré vám v tom pomôžu. Ak však len zbierate knihy plné úžasných fotografií, aj vy si prídete na svoje.
