The Early years of Photography.

1.     What are the main differences and similarities between portraits in the early days of photography and portraits today?

       Early days photography basically are done inside the studios, and they are taken by professional photographers. But today anyone can easily take really good picture anywhere and anytime with the use of modern technology (like cellphones, digital camera, etc.). Images took so long for it to develop,photographers need to use series of subsequent chemical reactions to produce a permanent print. But in modern photography it only takes a second or three to print photos by using modern technology.

       In order to get better images photographers in early days must have a great and expensive camera, but today it’s not necessarily to have a good and expensive camera, using Adobe Photoshop, photographers can easily edit photos. This can make images even better and perfect.

            To sum up everything Portraits in today’s world are very different from those in early days in many ways. Early days differ from those of today’s portraits due to the method of how images are taken.

2. Who was the photographer and who was the subject of photographs in the past and today?

Henry Fox Talbot is a inventor and a pioneer of photography back in 19th century. He brought about a wholly new way of making pictures, perfected the optical and chemical aspects of photograph.He learned to use the new medium to make complex images for the botanist, historian, traveler, and artist.
