The earliest photography studio opened in march 1840 in New York. Alexander Wolcott opened a Daguerrean Parlor for mini portraits.

Louis Daguerre invented the first procees of photography.

Robert Cornelius was the first photographer to take a portrait over a year after the first image of a human being.

this is the first selfie ever taken ( by Robert Cornelius)

after this early portraiture people got much better at taking photos that show something and have meaning, they do this is through using light and shadow in a new way.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn painted shadows on his portrait painting.

this was then adapted to photography

this shows the Rembrant light and the triangle is highlighted to show that this triangle under the eye is a key part of a Rembrandt light.

Oliver Doran is a commercial photographer

this is of Oliver Doran’s most famous portraits of Robert De Niro this image is very good he uses a modified Rembrandt light with slightly more of the face than just the triangle on one side. it is good that this image is black and white because it fits the subject well.

Multiple exposures are photographs in which two or more images are superimposed in a single frame, and they’re super easy to create using your analogue camera. Set an image of a train against a field of flowers, or prop your friend’s face against an image of a city skyline to create enchanting and surreal images.

to achieve these images, I had to upload the original image and duplicate it, and then lower the opacity of the imaged and move it slightly so that the image is multi exposure. In the bottom one I adjusted the hue of the image so that it showed as purple.
