Before the invention of photography, portraits were created by artists by drawing or painting. The process is laborious and expensive, making it accessible only to wealthy individuals.
As photography technology advances, it becomes increasingly accessible and popular, allowing more people to take photos of themselves and their loved ones.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, portrait studios began opening in cities, allowing people of all backgrounds to take pictures.
Although photography has only been around for centuries, people have long enjoyed taking pictures of themselves and others. The invention of photography made it easier and more accessible for everyone and today it has become an indispensable part of our lives.
Take a look at our photo, in which a young girl named Catherine came to take a photo but she didn’t see the photographer anywhere. Do you see the photographer in the photo?
