Photography has thought to have originated in the early 1800s, and the leaps in photographic technology since then have turned many people into at least a casual smartphone-photographer.

My personal favorite is Vivian Maier, who was a street photographer in Chicago for decades, but her negatives weren’t found and her work not shown until after her death. Find out more about her in the documentary Finding Vivian Maier.
