Henry Fox Talbot was a British scientist and inventor who is best known for his pioneering work in the field of photography. He is credited with inventing the "calotype" or "talbotype" process, which was an early photographic method using paper negatives. This innovation laid the foundation for modern photography, as it allowed multiple positive prints to be produced from a single negative, unlike earlier methods. Talbot's contributions to the development of photography established him as one of the key figures in the history of this art form.

Join our hosts as they dissect the very beginnings of photography: how it was invented when it was, who used this new medium, why that matters and who actually invented it.
