Joseph Nicéphore Niépce was before either of the two. Daguerre was working with him before he died.

well chosen words
So interesting & Educational!
The scientific convention of the day was first to announce, first invented. Talbot's negative/positive process (as opposed to his original one) relied on the development of the latent image which he got from reading the patent of Daguerreotype in England. So obvious bias aside Talbot was not the inventor photography, Daguerre was.
excellent
