The daguerreotype and a digital photograph has a lot of differences. A daguerreotype is printed with negatives. The negatives allow us to see the border created from the film strips. There was no editing done to the daguerreotype. They are taken in black and white only. Oppose to a digital photograph that can be taken in color or black and white. The daguerreotype are very large in size as well. A digital photograph can be printed in many sizes. The people in the photographs all seem to have a blank expression. Which makes them have a unique feeling to them.
The daguerreotype was taken in different setting, more urban settings. The daguerreotype photos seem like theirs a lot of story behind them. Digital photographs are taken differently. The exposure on digital photographs makes them look different from the daguerreotype. The daguerreotype are really dull and old fashioned. Digital photographs seem more vivid. And easier to see visually. The photos I’ve taken this semester were taken in a special way in order to get the right shot. The format of the daguerrotype is very different from the format of a digital photograph. With the photography growth, you can see the change in photography. And how it advanced as a whole.
