Nicéphore Niépce

Nicéphore Niépce was a photographer in the 1820-30's ish. He was named the first photographer, because he was the first to create a photo (it had a view of the outbuildings, courtyard, trees and landscape from a window.) It had an exposure of about 8 hours. He didn't produce very many photographs in his lifetime, and went mildly unrecognized in his life.
