Some History• Throughout history people have sought to produce images either of themselves or of

others. The problem is that the skills required to paint or draw portraits are in short supply, and therefore expensive. Until the eighteenth century, therefore, portraits were generally regarded as the privilege of the wealthy.

• In any case, artists are able, through this medium, not only to depict what they see, but what they believe or prefer to portray. There are several instances in which a famous personality has been painted on numerous occasions, and have such striking differences that it is difficult to know what the sitter really looked like!

• The invention of photography marked a watershed as far as portraiture was concerned, and it is not difficult to understand why photography, from the earliest days, had such an instant appeal both in America and in Europe, particularly in this area. Portraiture, once only for the well-to-do, was now available to all. There was a lot of money to be made out of the practice. One of the earliest photographers, Richard Beard, was said to have earned forty thousand pounds in one year (a large sum today - a fortune then!)

• Today, photographers are pushing the medium of photography in many ways, but especially in portraiture. The need/want of portraits for occasions is still widely practiced, but the photographers are getting more creative with them. Portraits are also being used in conceptual work and outside of the studio.

Some History• The history of landscape photography is closely tied to the history of exploration in

the American West. Photographers since the birth of the medium have explored wild lands for art as well as science. Much has changed in a century and a half, yet surprising similarities remain between the first landscape masters and those working today.

• Though 50 years of work preceded him, Ansel Adams is the spiritual father of American landscape photography. Not only is he perhaps the most recognizable name in all of photography, but his work transcended art and science to make him an icon of popular culture as well.
