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.
