Did modern photography using cameras begin in 1400s?

Modern Photography did not begin in the 1400s; it began in the early 19th century. The first successful permanent photograph was created in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. While the camera obscura, a precursor to the modern camera, was invented in the 11th century and used for drawing, it wasn't until the invention of light-sensitive materials that photography as we know it was developed.
