Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
The mid-19th century saw the rise of portrait photography, a genre quickly embraced by the public. Before this innovation, painted portraits were the only way to capture a person''s likeness, a luxury reserved for the wealthy. The daguerreotype, an early photographic process, offered a faster and more affordable alternative.
Introduced in 1839, the daguerreotype used a silver-plated copper sheet treated with chemical fumes to create a highly detailed, one-of-a-kind image. Although significantly cheaper than a painted portrait, the process was still relatively expensive for the average person. Studios emerged offering specialized services like posing chairs and flattering lighting to enhance these treasured keepsakes.
The introduction of the carte de visite in the 1850s revolutionized portrait photography. This process used paper prints, allowing for multiple copies from a single negative, making photography accessible to a wider audience. People began collecting and exchanging cartes de visite, and photographers started specializing in portraits of famous individuals, further increasing their popularity.
This surge in portrait photography''s popularity wasn''t without criticism. Some argued that the pursuit of a ''good likeness'' overshadowed artistic expression. Others questioned the ethics of readily replicating images, potentially diminishing the value of the individual portrayed. However, the accessibility and affordability of photography solidified its place in society, forever changing the way we capture and perceive ourselves and each other.
