How Portrait Photography has evolved . . . . .
Photography has been around for decades of years and has evolved since then, for example the technology that is available today is much easier than what was available back then. The cameras have become faster to use and portable in order to go out and capture photographs rather than struggling to carry the right equipment. There are also little compact digital hand held cameras available for those that do not know how to use, for example an SLR camera.
There is also studio set ups that can also be easily portable but usually too much of it and would have to have a vehicle to get to certain locations. The models no longer have to sit for hours on end with a pole behind them to keep them still their pictures will just be taken quickly and instantly.
