Daguerreotype

Can you find Image evidence of the technique? 

When was it first discovered and by whom? The Daguerreotype was made by the photographer named Louis Daguerre


What is special about the technique? Light reflects through the daguerreotype and bouncing through the back of it creating a 3D effect, you can only make one image of a daguerreotype making it more special but limited

 
How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made.The technique is where you rub it down with leather put it into film and then expose it to light making the daguerreotype



Can you comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today? The Daguerreotype is now considered more of a hobby rather than the actual process of real initial photography, it has a cult following because it has a traditional process
