Nicéphore is famous for producing the first known photograph.
He was born March 7th and died of a stroke in 1833.
Came from a moderately wealthy family, and pursued many jobs like, military service and teaching.
In 1795 he worked with his brother Claude and came up with an invention called pyreolophore in 1807.
1829 he formed a partnership with Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre to find another way of using the camera obscura and silver salts, which were known to darken when exposed to sunlight.
He made a rough image in 1816 but then it faded away after.
He never finished what he desired, so Daguerre would continue modifying the technique to photographs, that would soon become the daguerreotype in 1839.
