Ennen pitkää hän kiehtoi valokuvaamisesta.

Yrityksen perustaminen
Tausta
Eastmanin keksintö alkoi herättää ihmisten huomion, ja hänen tutkimustaan alkoi rahoittaa businessman Stone. yksi ensimmäisistä ostetuista laitteista oli 125 dollarin arvoinen moottori.
"Kaikki todella tarvitsevat hevosvoimaa", helater muistutti."Tämä on kaksi hevosvoimaa, mutta luulen, että liiketoiminnan kehittyessä tarvitaan kahta hevosvoimaa. Se kannattaa, joten ostin sen."

Vuonna 1885 ensimmäinen elokuvamainoslogan oli "Uusi valoherkän elokuvan tyyppi lanseerataan pian, jonka uskon olevan lasinkuivauslevy ulkona ja opiskelua varten. Taloudellinen,käytännöllinen vaihtoehto ja kätevä."
Vuonna 1886 Eastman kehitti rullatyyppisen valoherkän elokuvan, "EastmanFilm", joka esitti märän, ison ja hauraan valokuvafilmin käytön.

Uuden tuotteen synty
Jotta halusin antaa tälle uudelle tuotteelleyksinomaisen nimen, Eastman, joka on ajateltu pitkään, ja loi uuden sanan, jota ei ollut koskaan ennen nähty - "Kodak", hän selitti:"Tämä nimi on minun oma ideani,"K'on minun suosikkini. miekka alkoi kirjaimella "K" ja lopussa, tästä tuli ongelma. Useiden monogrammien kokeilujen jälkeen viimein ajateltiin "Kodak". .Itämaanmaailmankuulujayhtiön arvokkainYksi omaisuudesta.

Tänään yrityksen mainokset näkyvät kaikkialla maailmassa, ja "Kodak"-tavaramerkki, jonka on luonut herra Eastman itse lähes kotitalousnimenä.
Vuonna 1892 Eastman muutti yrityksensä nimeksi "EastmanKodak" -yritykseksi. Vuonna 1895 Koda toi markkinoille taskukameran hintaan 5 $, mikä teki sensaatiomaisen maailmanrakastamisen tavoitteeksi valokuvaustekniikan "suosion" todellisuudessa.
