Ever wondered who captured the first photograph?
Although the camera obscura has existed since before Christ (BC), capturing images permanently proved to be challenging up to the early 1800.
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, born in 1765, found a way to use hydrocarbon coating known as bitumen to permanently capture images. He called this process heliograph.

The bitumen coated glass or metal plate hardens when exposed to light. Once the plate is washed with a lavender oil, the hardened bitumen produces a photograph.
