Joseph Nicephore Niepce: The Father of Photography

Niepce was a French inventor and photographer who is credited with creating the first permanent photograph in 1826. He developed a process called heliography, which used a coated plate covered with a light-sensitive substance to capture an image. The process involved exposing the plate under an ordinary window or with the use of a camera obscura, and then developing the image with a solution of bitumen.

Niepce's work laid the foundation for the development of photography as we know it today, and his contributions to the field are still celebrated and studied by photographers and historians alike.
