In the usual Clifford algebra formulation of electrodynamics the Faraday bivector field $F$ is expressed in terms of \QTR{em}{the observer dependent} relative vectors $\QTR{bf}{E}$ and $\QTR{bf}{B.}$ In this paper we present \QTR{em}{the observer independent}decomposition of $F$ by using the vectors (grade-1) of electric $E$ and magnetic $B$ fields and we develop the formulation of relativistic electrodynamics which is independent of the reference frame and of the chosen coordinatization. We also present equivalent formulations by using the multivector (Clifford aggregate) $\Psi =E-e_{5}cB$ for the real Clifford algebra; $e_{5}$ is the (grade-4) pseudoscalar) or the complex 1-vector $\Psi =E-icB$ (for the complex Clifford algebra; $i$ is the unit imaginary). In such formulations the Maxwell equations become a Dirac like relativistic wave equation for the free photon.
