The Beginnings Of Portrait Photography And How It Started

By Kenneth Edwards


Since time began and human beings started to walk the earth, many things have enthralled the imagination. The wonders that nature could fully offer was vast and unique. In the times of prehistoric eras, the early man that lived during that time, whole heartedly worshiped the environment that was around them and they began to record what was seen around them.

This drive and wanting to create led to the creation of many things based on the many ideas that have taken seed in the minds of those that are willing to. Many of the inspirations for creations were taken out of environment around them. The few ideas of this, was creating a device that could immortalize the image forever. Thus the camera and Portrait Photography Dallas came into being.

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 usage of glass plates was still popular even with the introduction of film. This was because the early plastic films were not durable and easily damaged, thus many professionals had preferred the more durable and long lasting plates for printing of pictures. This changed later on as the many other things had become bigger.

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 many things that cameras have given the industry is vast and many. First it was unmoving still pictures were made to move as more and more video cameras were made to make movies and different shows on TV. It also improved how people remember and record their memories with each other through the use of it.
