Heliography Project
200 Years of Photography (1827–2027)

In Memory of Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and the World’s First Photograph

In the summer of 1827, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce succeeded in capturing the world’s first light-fast photograph. Taken over a period of several days, the image depicts the view from the window of his study at his estate, Le Gras, in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, France. It was preserved on a tin plate coated with asphalt, measuring 16.5 × 21 cm.

To honor this special anniversary, I have created an exclusive series of heliographs that pays tribute to Niépce’s visionary work from 1827. For this series, I carefully coat and expose the plates in a process inspired by the historic original.

In celebration of 2027, I am also planning a comprehensive exhibition of all the works created for this series, and I look forward to collaborations to mark this unique occasion together.
