Louis Daguerre (18 November 1787 – 10 July 1851)- created the daguerreotype ( first publicly available photographic process )

He is a French artist and photographer, closely working with Joseph Niepce. He developed the diorama theatre which is a three-dimensional full-size or miniature model.

Henry William Fox-Talbot (1800 – 1877) UK- Fox Talbot was an English member of parliament, scientist, inventor and a pioneer of photography,  develop the three primary elements of photography: developing, fixing, and printing. Although simply exposing photographic paper to the light produced an image, it required extremely long exposure times. He accidently discovered that there was an image after a very short exposure.

He called this the ‘calotype’ and patented the process in 1841.
