Louis Daguerre
Louis Daguerre was born on the 18th November of
1787. Degas was French artist, physicist and inventor. He was the co founder of
the Diorama (means entertainment based on enormous paintings on semi-transparent
linen). The camera obscura helped Daguerre’s interest in chemically fixing
images. Louis Daguerre learned that Joseph-Nicéphore
Niepce was also researching about the chemically fixing images. Daguerre experimented with copper plates and
silver iodide, which he discovered was light sensitive. The exposure time for
the photographs was about twenty minutes. In 1839 Daguerre had improved the
invention of Niepce and named it the daguerreotype. When Louise Daguerre died
on the 12th July of 1851, Frederick Scott Archer replaced the daguerreotype
to more suitable method of photography.
