President James Polk (1845-49) was the first President to have his photograph taken while he was in office. A photograph of John Quincy Adams was taken after he left office, so he was the earliest president to be photographed.
The photographs of John Quincy Adams were daguerreotype photos and taken in 1843, long after he left office. He considered the photos to be "hideous". 4 photos were known to be taken.
The photos were rediscovered in the 1960's by a graduate student who purchased them in for .50 cents each. The photos are now in the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution.
