processing software expanded the boundaries of creativity, enabling photographers to experiment with new techniques and achieve unprecedented levels of control and precision (Peres, 2007) while the rise of social media platforms reshaped the landscape of photographic practice, and made it easier to instantly share images around the world ( Cotton, 2014) he wrote. )
Photography stands as a profound testament to humanity’s ingenuity, creativity and desire to capture fleeting moments for posterity. This paper seeks to document the development of photography through its journey through technological development, artistic development and its profound social impact From a historical survey, the paper moves to the beginnings of photography, the camera obscure to the revolutionary daguerreotypes and calotypes that marked its nascent stages, major technological developments including roll film, color photography, systems of n 'focus on itself, digital revolution, and each milestone changes the landscape of photographic practice and accessibility
Enhancing photography with artistic movements is also important. From late nineteenth-century painting to avantgarde experiments in modernism and surrealism, photographers continue to push the boundaries of visual expression by combining new mediums and techniques to present cultural content on the changing scale (Marien, 1997).
Key Words:
The purpose of this study is to examine the interplay of technological advances, artistic advances, and social influences in the development of photography. Through mixed methods, we seek to understand how all of these elements have come together to shape the style and influence contemporary photographic practices.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Methodology
Since its inception in the early 19th century, photography has changed dramatically driven by technological advances, artistic innovations and social change The journey from the camera obscura to the modern digital image has changed how we see, interpret and we carry the visual information. Early pioneers such as Joseph Nicefor Niepse and Louis Daguerre laid the foundation for the development of the daguerreotype and calotype systems, which created new possibilities for photography (Newhall, 1982) As technology advanced, George Eastman democratized photography by introducing roll film, making it the masses It became easier to produce, and encouraged amateur photography as a popular hobby (Marien, 2002).
The method of operation This study uses mixed methods to examine the development of photography focusing on technological advances, artistic achievements and social impact Data collection methods include in-depth interviews, online surveys and photographic analysis survey. Objectives: • Evaluating technological advances: To examine how technological innovations from film to digital have changed photographic practices and accessibility. • Discovering technical advances: To examine the most important technical advances and developments in
The late 20th and early 21st centuries marked a milestone in the digital revolution, transforming photography into a
