No Thomas Edison did not invent Photography. Employing data from the researches of Johann Heinrich Schulze-who, in 1727, discovered that silver nitrate darkened upon exposure to light-Thomas Wedgwood and Sir Humphry Davy, early in the 19th cent., created what we now call photograms. The French physicist, Joseph Nicéphore Niepce, made the first negative (on paper) in 1816 and the first known photograph (on metal; he called it a heliograph) in 1826.
