Photography was first done by a Frenchman by name Joseph Nicephore Niepce in the year 1827 with the help of the device known as obscura or pinhole. Niepce was not responsible for the invention of the camera obscura. In fact Obscura was used by others as a viewfinder or tool for drawing. But he used it first for the purpose of creating a photographic image. At that time people called his productions as "heliographs" because sunlight was used to draw them.

∙ 15y agoThe first recorded photograph was by Niecephore Niepce in 1826 in France. People such as Wedgewood had been experimenting decades earlier - they made photographs but hadn't found out how to fix them, so the images faded. Some people claim that Leonardo da vinci invented a form of photography in order to fake the Turin Shroud in the 1490s, but that is a matter of speculation.
