First Photography

Photography is the process of capturing an image by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation. Invented in the 19th century , photography was proven able to capture more details than sculpting or painting.

 

The first permanent photography was an image produced in 1822 by a French inventor, Nicéphore Niépce, but it was destroyed in attempt to duplicate it. Later in 1825, he made the first permanent photograph from nature (his View from the Window at Le Gras) with a camera obscura. He improved his photography which took a long time to process together with Louis Daguerre. Niépce died in 1833, but Daguerre continued the work, later on he invented a photograph process which was called daguerreotype . He took the very first photography of a person in 1838 with his daguerreotype of a pedestrian who stopped long enough for a shoe shine.
