The history of photography is one that continues to surprise the further research I do. After covering the true induction of the art form, reviewing the latter inventions in history is incredibly humbling. Ansel Adams is one pioneer that absolutely deserves coverage of his contributions and hard work. A man with a storied history, wholly distinct and unique in his actions, Adams has lived a life that few could ever dream of living.

Louis Daguerre was a man known predominantly for his work in photography. His life didn’t start quite like Joseph Nicephore Niepce or William Henry Fox Talbot. He began his life as an artist but ended it as a revolutionary inventor.

Innovators are very rarely given the credit they deserve. What often happens is the true innovators are rarely given the recognition. One such innovator is the polymath William Henry Fox Talbot, one of the many pioneers of photography.
