Photography was first done by a Frenchman by name Joseph Nicephore Niepce in the year 1827 with the help of the device known as obscura or pinhole. Niepce was not responsible for the invention of the camera obscura. In fact Obscura was used by others as a viewfinder or tool for drawing. But he used it first for the purpose of creating a photographic image. At that time people called his productions as "heliographs" because sunlight was used to draw them.
