For the rest of the class you will be continuing your research on the History of Photography. Today you will explore the Daguerreotype and Calotype.
On a google doc shared with me find the following:
What is a Daguerreotype?
What does it look like?
How does it differ from photographs of today?
What length exposures were needed?
What were the styles of typical early daguerreotype portraits?
What were post-mortem photographs and why were they taken?
What is a Calotype?
What does it look like?
How is it similar to the process that we use today?
What is The Pencil of Nature? Who is the author/artist?
Was the daguerreotype or the calotype preferred for most portrait photography uses in the early decades
of photography? Why?
