What was the name of the ancient photographer?

In ancient times, photography had not developed, so there was no occupation called photographer. However, as early as ancient times, people began to explore ways to capture and save images. For example, painters in ancient China used pen and ink to draw pictures to represent the world. In Europe, Nipps, the pioneer of early photography, invented telephoto, which can describe scenes through lens and specular reflection. However, it was not until the industrial revolution at the end of 19 that photography really began to spread and develop. So in ancient times, there was no specific name to refer to the profession of photographer.
