    Joseph Nicephore Niepce was the first photographer and pioneer of photography. He began experimenting with light and reproducing images in 1816, creating the earliest known photograph in 1826 called a heliograph. In 1833, Niepce partnered with Louis Daguerre and continued researching photography until his death. Daguerre later popularized the daguerreotype process, making Niepce's earlier heliograph technique obsolete.
