Sometime in the summer of 1827 Joseph Nicéphore Niépce is credited with producing the world's first photograph, a picture of buildings visible from the rooftop of his home. See the Related Link below.
if you are talking about photographs it was in 1826. It was done by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce of France.
The First photo-1827 Joseph Nicephore Niépce produces the first successful picture over an eight hour exposure time. French inventor Joseph Nicephore Niepce uses a camera obscura to burn a permanent image of the countryside at his Le Gras, France estate onto chemical-coated paper. He names the technique heliography, meaning sun drawing. The black and white image exposure takes eight hours and fades significantly, but an image is still visible today.

The first camera was made by Alhazen, it was made around 1000AD! It was a Pinhole camera. He was born in Basra, Iraq ***This was not a camera in the modern sense. It did not produce photographic images of any sort as the application of silver salts for imaging was not discovered until around the 17th century. It was not until appx. 1826 that the first permanent image was made.
In the early summer of 1826 Joseph Nicéphore Niépce of France made a permanent photographic image on a polished pewter plate coated with bitumen. The exposure of the view from his window took eight hours, so the sun appears to be lighting both sides of the picture. Niepce had been successful in making paper negatives in the camera obscura as early as April 1816, but was unable to fix them (render them insensitive to further action of light).
A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. In a darkroom, or a darkened room, objects are arranged on top a piece of photographic material, usually photographic paper. When the operator is satisfied with the arrangement, the photographic material is exposed with light, usually by switching on an enlarger or other artificial light source. The material is then processed, washed and dried. The usual result is a negative shadow image that shows variations in tone that depends upon the transparency of the objects used. Areas of the paper that have received no light appear white; those exposed through transparent or semi-transparent objects appear grey.

A camera made in 2009 differs in every way from one built in 1814 because the first camera had not been made then. The first photograph produced in a camera was made in 1816 by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce, but he was unable to make it permanent. The first permanent photograph was produced in 1826 by Niépce but the resulting image was a plate more akin to modern lithographic plate. Louis Daguerre worked with Niépce, and continued after Niépce died, to develop the first true photographic process. In 1837 he developed the daguerreotype process, and took the first image of a person in 1839. The cameras from this early period were simple boxes made entirely of wood, with brass-fitted lenses.

You could consider the year to be 1826, when the first permanent photographic image was made of the "natural" environment. Knowledge of optics pre-dates that date by centuries, and the behavior of some compounds or chemicals when exposed to light was known for a long time before that too. So the roots of creation of photography go way back, but 1826 is the date many people would pinpoint.

Photographic film was invented in 1889 by George Eastman. Photographic film and paper is made using silver nitrate which is light sensitive.
