Word origin

The term 'photofilm' combines two roots: 'photo' from the Greek word 'phลtos' meaning 'light' or 'image', and 'film' which has Old English origins referring to a thin layer or membrane. The advent of photofilm can be traced back to the late 19th century when advancements in chemistry allowed for the creation of light-sensitive materials. Early photofilms were made from glass plates and later transitioned to flexible plastic strips that became widely used in the 20th century. This innovation revolutionized photography, making it more accessible to amateurs and professionals alike. With the rise of digital photography, the use of photofilm has declined, but it remains popular among enthusiasts who appreciate its aesthetic qualities and the artistic process involved in film photography.
