Photography has a surprisingly long history, especially if the use of the photographic camera's predecessor, camera obscura, as a means to document the world is included. In fact, the oldest preserved photographs date back to the 1820s.
Auctionet's catalogue of sold items from this category includes Terry O'Neill's iconic portrait of Brigitte Bardot, Leif Erik Nygårds' now-legendary image Marilyn Monroe and Norma Jeane Baker photographed in Los Angeles at Bel Air Hotel, June 27th 1962 and Hans Gedda's portrait of Nelson Mandela. Also, Lennart Nilsson's photos capturing the beginnings of human life in utero and the inside workings of the body.
