Generally accepted to be 1838 or 1839, by Louis Daguerre. The unknown person stopped to have his shoes shined during the 10 minute exposure. If not for this, his presence, like everyone else in the street, would not have been captured due to the long exposure.

It was taken by Jacques Daguerre in 1838. The exposure took 10 minutes but a passerby stopped for a shoe shine and became the first photographed person.
