| Louis Daguerre |
Louis Daguerre (1787-1851) was a French artist and physicist who is most commonly known for his invention of the "Daguerreotype". Round about the same time when Niepce had been experimenting with photography, Daguerre was also keen on the idea. The only problem that Daguerre had was that he was not able (by himself) to reduce exposure time rapidly and therefore in 1829 he formed what would turn out to be one of the best and wisest partnerships of all time. By joining forces, Niepce and Daguerre collaborated with one another and experimented with different photosensitive materials to conjure images that were created using the camera obscura.
