The Beginnings Of Portrait Photography And How It Started

By Kenneth Edwards


For the many years in their existence, humans have been always driven by the sense of adventure. Whether it be travelling or going through the vast oceans to find new land and places that exist in this world, the thirst exist for man. One of the biggest things was the absolute desire to find and build things that fascinated them and enthralled their imaginations to no end.

The incredible fascination that human beings have had with nature reflects on what is seen in early caves. There are many drawings that depict animals and different things that prehistoric people saw during the period. This desire to preserve and observe things have become so great that humans eventually invented the camera and along with it, Portrait Photography Dallas.

How the process of taken pictures is done looks to be simple but is a very difficult thing to do properly. There are many things that a photographer must make sure of before taking the shots. Not only does the lighting have to fit the theme of the shoot, but it also plays into how the model will look once the photo is taken.

The development of it all began with different ideas. History shows that there were many attempts to make a completed one. When a single model was finally made for production, there was a need to make the pictures appear and print them too. To do this, glass plates were used to store the taken photographs.

The late 19th century had seen the films introduction into the market. Although it would become the most prevalent way of developing pictures, it was not favored during the year of its introduction. The plastic film prototype had failed when placed next to the more durable glass plates.

The passing decades saw the further development of how film was used. It was made more durable and portable for easy usage. This combination turned the film into the juggernaut of the industry, turning into main method as to where photos were printed on. It was cheap enough that many amateurs could afford it and this grew its popularity.

Because of how difficult it was to produce pictures with color, it was not possible. The photos that were taken during the early years of photography were not in color. Thus, when looking at older photos that were taken during the 50s, most were black and white or what they called monochrome. Some older pictures were brown as well.

The development of colored photography has continued since then. Having color became the normal thing for many cameras but an even bigger advancement had showed itself during the 80s. This was the year when the first digital camera was released for public usage, improving the quality of amateur picture taking and how family photos are done as well.

The joy of having a camera around is not only limited to taking photographs. The advancement in its technology made it possible to record moving people and others as well. This is what came to be known as the movies and soon translated into television.
