Answer 1

The first photograph of its kind, The Artist's Studio, was produced by Louis Daguerre using the daguerreotype process on a silver-plated copper plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first photograph of its kind, The Artist's Studio, taken in 1837, was produced on silver-plated copper by Louis Daguerre.

Daguerre was a French Romantic artist who invented the daguerreotype process, which significantly reduced exposure time and created a lasting result, but only produced a single image.

His technique consisted of exposing a copper plate coated in silver and sensitized with iodine to light in a camera, and then developing it in darkness.
