. . Snapshot Photography: History and Analysis, from beginnings to the end of 2oth century The word "snapshot" was coined in 1860, by Sir John Herschel. The reason for the name was the similarity between marksmanship and pulling the trigger in hunting rifles and the aiming and opening and closing of the camera shutters.
