Frances is a photographer who lived back in 1839 and enjoyed the popularity of the daguerreotype photographic process. He had a client who requested two copies of a portrait photograph that Frances was taking. What did Frances likely have to do to accomplish this? (1 point) Responses repeat the process and attempt to replicate the initial image repeat the process and attempt to replicate the initial image create a hand-drawn copy of the first photograph create a hand-drawn copy of the first photograph prop the client up in order to keep him immobile for 48 hours prop the client up in order to keep him immobile for 48 hours set up two cameras side by side
To accomplish this, Frances likely had to repeat the process and attempt to replicate the initial image.
To accomplish this, Frances likely had to repeat the process and attempt to replicate the initial image. In 1839, the daguerreotype process involved capturing an image on a polished silver-coated copper plate using a camera obscura. Once the image was developed, it would be fixed and stabilized through chemicals to create a permanent photograph. To create two copies of the portrait photograph, Frances would have needed to repeat the entire process with two separate plates, capturing the same image with the same lighting, composition, and subject pose. This would ensure that each copy closely resembled the initial photograph. It is unlikely that hand-drawn copies or propping the client up for a prolonged period would have been practical or necessary in this context. Setting up two cameras side by side could be an option, but it would be more complicated and require synchronization between the cameras to capture the exact same moment.
