Nicéphore Niépce


Nicephor Neipce is recognized by the French as an inventor of photography. He produced the first known photograph to mankind. He grew up in a wealthy family with two brothers and a sister. He served in the military for a part of his life where he met his wife. Neipce experimented with several things including the camera obscure, lithography and silver chloride. He eventually led to bitumen which is also known as asphalt and found a solution. He had trouble tracing inverted images so that motivated him to find a way to avoid that and still photograph.
