Before the invention of photography, portraits were created by artists through drawing or painting. The process was laborious and expensive, making it accessible only to wealthy individuals.
As photography technology developed, it became increasingly accessible and popular, allowing more people to photograph themselves and their loved ones.
By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, portrait studios began opening in cities, enabling people of all backgrounds to have their photographs taken.
Although photography has only existed for centuries, people have long enjoyed taking photographs of themselves and others. The invention of photography made it easier and more accessible for people to do so, and today it has become an integral part of our lives.
Look at our picture, in which a young lady named Catherine has come for a photoshoot, but she can’t see where the photographer is. Can you see the photographer in the picture?
