Nicephore Niepce

Nicephore Niepce was born in France on March 7, 1765 and died on July 1833. His elder brother, Claude, helped him through the research and inventions but became delirious and create some issues in the family fortune. Nicephore served in the army but his health became a strain on him and he had to resign. In 1801 Niepce and Claude returned in Chalon to do their scientific research while they reunited with their mother and younger siblings.

He was known for The First Photograph which they was used with a camera obscura in 1825.

The First Photograph was noteworthy because of course this was the first permanent photograph. Things would have probably been a bit different today with photography if The First Photograph had not been taken at that time.

The First Photograph was taken at the View from Window at Le Gras in France.

It took about 8 hours to make the exposure.

The First Photograph was taken in 1825.
