Question

IM AT SCHOOL DOING A REASEARCH PROJECT AND I NEED HELP TO FIND STUFF ON THIS DOOD HELP IT IS JOSEPH NIEPCE

i need help on his child hood to

Answer 1

Niépce was born in Chalon-sur-Saône.

He began experimenting with processes to set optical images in 1793. Some of his early experiments produced images, but they faded rapidly. He was said to have first produced long lasting images in 1824. The earliest known surviving example of a Niépce photograph (or any other photograph) was created in June or July of 1827 (or 1826, according to some sources). Niépce called his process "heliography", meaning "sun writing". The exposure time required is an issue still debated today, somewhere between 8 and 20 hours. Because of the very long exposure time, the process was used to photograph buildings and inanimate objects, but could not be practically used to photograph people.

Starting in 1829 he began collaborating on improved photographic processes with Louis Daguerre.

Niépce died suddenly of a stroke in 1833.



honestly, I didn't just copy and paste that in from Wikipedia...

Answer 2

Niépce (pronounced Nee-ps) is universally credited with producing the first successful photograph in June/July 1827. He was fascinated with lithography, and worked on this process. Unable to draw, he needed the help of his artist son to make the images. However, when in 1814 his son was drafted into the army to fight at Waterloo, he was left having to look for another way of obtaining images. Eventually he succeeded, calling his product Heliographs (after the Greek "of the sun"). Lady Elizabeth Eastlake, writing in 1857, informs us that he was a man of private means, who had began his researches in 1814. When he eventually succeeded, he came over to England later that year and sought to promote his invention via the Royal Society (then as now regarded as the leading learned body concerned with science). However, the Royal Society had a rule that it would not publicise a discovery that contained an undivulged secret, so Niépce met with total failure. Returning to France, he teamed up with Louis Daguerre in 1829, a partnership which lasted until his death only four years later, at the age of 69. He left behind him some examples of his heliographs, which are now in the Royal Photographic Society's collection.

This is the first known photograph.** There is little merit in this picture other than that fact. It is difficult to decipher: the building is on the left, a tree a third in from the left, and a barn immediately in front. The exposure lasted eight hours, so the sun had time to move from east to west, appearing to shine on both sides of the building.

For further information on Niepce, see here.

Though Niépce's contribution is interesting, for the purposes of photography as we know it today, it is irrelevant.



** I have been taken to task by some who point to the picture in the Turin Shroud as being the first photograph. Whether the shroud dates back to the time of Jesus Christ, which most scholars discount, or whether it dates from around 1000AD, it does certainly show an image of a dead person. Whether this was produced intentionally though is more unlikely. The picture shown here is generally acknowledged to be the first image produced intentionally.

Answer 3

Sorry but this is all I could find there isn't much out there about his childhood.

• 1765 : Birth of Joseph Niépce in Chalon-sur-Saône (he will change his name to Nicephore later). His father is a King counseller and deposits collector for Chalonnais.He has one sister & two brothers.

• 1786 : Joseph studies in Angers at the Oratorian Brothers. Physics and Chemistry are his passions.

• 1788 : Leaves the Oratoire and enlists in the National Guard in Chalon-sur-Saône ;

He signs his letters using Nicephore as a first name.

Answer 4

JOSEPH NICEPHORE
NIEPCE (1765-1833) ,
French physicist, and one of the inventors of
photography, was
born at Chalon-sur-
Saone on the 7th of
March 1765 . In 1792 he entered the
army as a sub-
lieutenant, and in the following
year he saw active service in
Italy .
Ill-
health and failing eyesight compelled him to resign his
commission before he had risen above the
rank of lieutenant; but in 1795 he was nominated administrateur of the
district of
Nice, and he held the
post until 18o1 . Returning in that year to his birthplace, he devoted himself along with his
elder
brother
Claude (1763–1828) to
mechanical and chemical researches; and in 1811 he directed his
attention to the rising
art of
lithography . In 1813 the
idea of obtaining
sun pictures first. suggested itself to him in this connexion; and in 1826 he learned that L . J . 1\I .
Daguerre was working in the same direction . In 1829 the two
united their forces, " pour cooperer au perfectionnement de la decouverte inventee
par M .
Niepce et perfectionnee par M . Daguerre " (see also PHOTOGRAPHY) . Niepce died at Gras, his
property near Chalon, on the 3rd of
July 1833 .

A
nephew, CLAUDE
FELIx
ABEL NIEPCE DE
SAINT-
VICTOR (1805-1870), served with distinction in the army, and also made important contributions towards the
advancement of the art of photography; he published Recherches photographiques (
Paris, 1855) and Traite pratique de gravure heliographique sur acier et sur verre (Paris, 1866) .
