Answer
Claude Niépce is less known than his brother Joseph Nicephore Niepce because Joseph was the one who invented photography. Joseph Niepce created the first permanent photograph in 1826 by using a camera obscura and a bitumen-coated pewter plate. Claude Niépce was also an inventor, but he is not as well-known as his brother because he did not invent photography.
