When was photography invented? Take a look at the world's first ever photo!

The world's first photograph by Joseph Niepce. Taken from a window of his Le Gras estate at Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, France, it was produced by exposing a bitumen-coated pewter plate in a camera obscura. It took an exposure time of eight hours.

Ever wondered when was photography invented? Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, a Frenchman, is the person who takes the credit for taking the world's first permanent photograph in around 1826.

Interestingly, though, he did not invent the camera itself. It was another Frenchman who invented the camera, Louis Daguerre.
