Wiliam Henry Fox Talbot was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge and is considered the inventor of the negative/positive photographic process. In 1834, he began experimenting with light sensitive materials on paper and produced his first camera image in 1835. His findings were published in 1839, a few weeks after Daguerre's invention was made public. He also invented an early form of photogravure, which he called photoglypty.
