Kodak
Eastman Kodak Company, commonly known as Kodak, is an American technology company that has been a major force in the history of photography. Founded in 1888 by George Eastman, Kodak is renowned for making photography accessible to the masses through innovations like the first portable camera and roll film. While initially dominant in film and camera markets, Kodak also played a significant role in the early development of digital photography. Kodak's early cameras and film, particularly the "You press the button, we do the rest" approach, democratized photography, making it available to the average consumer. Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 and the first practical megapixels CCD image sensor. Kodak's technology was used in space, including during John Glenn's orbit and return to space. Today, Kodak focuses on commercial print and advanced materials & chemicals, leveraging its technological expertise. Kodak's products and philosophy have significantly shaped how we capture and share moments, influencing visual storytelling and personal documentation. Kodak's innovations spurred interest in photography and its applications in various fields. The company's advertising campaigns, including those featuring the "Kodak Moment," encouraged capturing special occasions and made Kodak a household name. Kodak's founder, George Eastman, was also a significant philanthropist, particularly supporting educational institutions. While Kodak's role in the consumer photography market has decreased significantly, its impact on the history and evolution of photography remains undeniable. The brand continues to exist as a cultural icon, and the company has found new avenues in commercial printing and advanced materials and chemicals.
