Who invented photograph?

Louis Daguerre invented the daguerreotype process in 1839, which was the first publicly available and practical photographic process. This was a major milestone in photography history. However, the first photograph was actually created by Nicephore Niepce earlier, and William Henry Fox Talbot independently developed the calotype process around the same time. Kodak is a company founded by George Eastman, who made photography accessible to the masses.
