Daguerre began his artistic career as a set designer before going on to find his style of photography now known Daguerreotype. This type of photography is a direct positive image made of amalgam particles. These photographs are developed on a sheet of silver after exposure to light. The particles are what give it such a range in the tone because the particles reflect differently in your eyes; the places with less particle reflect less causing that area of the image to be shadowy. This is Daguerre's first photo in this style.
