Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre was born on the 18th of November in 1787 in Cormeilles-en-Parisis, Val-d’Oise, Francija; and is better known as Louis Daguerre, who was a French artist and photographer, gadā viņš tika atzīts par fotogrāfijas dagerrotipijas izgudrošanu.
He is known as one of the fathers of photography, and even though he is most famous for his contributions to photography, viņš bija arī pieredzējis gleznotājs un diorāmas teātra attīstītājs.
He was apprenticed in architecture, theater design, and panoramic painting under the first French Panorama Painter Pierre Prévost (1764 – 1823).
He was exceedingly well adept at his skill of theatrical illusion, and he became a celebrated designer for the theater, which later led to him inventing the diorama, which opened in Paris in July 1822.
In 1829, Daguerre partnered with French Inventor Nicéphore Niépce (1765 – 1833), who had produced the world’s first heliograph in 1822 and the oldest surviving camera photograph in 1826 vai 1827.
Though Niépce died suddenly in 1833, Daguerre continued experimenting with the photographic process, and evolved the method that would eventually be known as the daguerreotype.
After efforts to interest private investors proved fruitless, Daguerre went public with his invention in 1839; and at a joint meeting of the French Academy of Sciences and the Académie des Beaux Arts on 7 January of that year, the invention was announced and described in general terms, but all specific details were withheld.
Under assurances of strict confidentiality, Dagērs paskaidroja un demonstrēja procesu tikai akadēmijas mūžīgajam sekretāram Fransuā Arago, who proved to be an invaluable advocate.
Members of the Academy and other select individuals were allowed to examine specimens of Daguerre’s work at his studio, which won him enthusiastic praise; with the process being though of as nearly miraculous, which led to the news of the daguerreotype spreading quickly.
Then the French Government made arrangements to acquire the rights to Daguerre’s invention in exchange for a lifetime pension for himself and the 19 year old sone of Niépce’s son Isidore.
Then on August 19, 1939 the French Government presented his invention as a free gift to the world, with complete instruction on how to create photographs; later that year Daguerre was elected to the National Academy of Design as an Honorary Academician.
Daguerre died, from a heart attack, jūlijā 10, 1851 in Bry-sur-Marne, 12 km (7 mi) from Paris; and a monument was erected that marks his grave, and his name is also one of 72 other to be inscribed on the Eiffel tower.
