Daguerre

Daguerre invented photography. He was born in 1787 and died in 1851. Each of his pictures were highly polished for his time. It was the subject of his photography that made people more interested in his new invention. He created art out of photography and showed the beauty of capturing a moment as it truly was. Daguerreotype was the photographic process it uses a silver platted copper plate to take the picture. Because, the pictures were light sensitive and the lens were incredibly slow the camera was often used to capture architecture.
