Asser was born in Amsterdam and became a successful lawyer and was thus able to afford his photography hobby, which was very expensive at the time.

Asser's experiments with Daguerreotype were initially reproductions of academic art. He is best known for his efforts to make the photographic printing process cheaper, most notably with his patent on the Procédé Asser in 1858, a photolithography process. He was an editor of the Dutch photography magazine and member of the Amsterdam photographers' society Helios.
