John Whipple

John Adams Whipple was born in 1822 and died in 1891. Whipple was the first photographer in the United States to invent the chemicals used for daguerreotypes, which is a photographic process. He established night photography and won prizes for his photos of the moon and stars, and later the sun. Here are some of his outstanding photos:

Whipple was born in Grafton Massachusetts. In the 1840's he was a known daguerreotype portraitist in Boston. His studio was the Whipple and Black studio.

Whipple photographed buildings as well as his portraits.
