Who was the earliest photographer in the world?

It is recognized that the first photo in the world was taken by Nipps, a Frenchman, in 1827, but now the world-recognized inventor of photography is Daguerre, France. Nipps, a photographer who was not noticed by the public, took the world's first photo. At that time, there were many problems to be solved in the production of photography. As early as Aristotle and China Mozi's time, people discovered the mystery of pinhole imaging. Until today, the principle of pinhole imaging is still applicable to photography, but the important reason that hindered photography production at that time was that a method of saving images had not been invented. 1825, Frenchman Nipps entrusted French optical instrument businessman Charles Chevalier to make optical lenses for his camera box. 1827 (it is said to be 1826), the photosensitive material he invented was put into a cassette, and the first photographic work in history was recorded. The work was shot in his home in Burgundy, France, and shot through the window in his attic for more than 8 hours.
