Don’t Smile for the Camera: Another Angle on Early Photography
Prompted smiles have been part of our cultural consciousness for the past hundred
years. These facades of happiness contrast starkly with the solemn
expressions in early photographs. This exhibition of seventy five 19th -
to early 20th - century photographs will challenge your perception of
how people should pose for the camera.
