The main similarity of portraints in the early days of photography and portraits today is to record a significant and pleasant moment for people. People are likely to take a photo with their families and friends in a special day, for example, most of people will take a lot of photos during their wedding party, birthday party or graduation ceremony. Sometimes, when we are traveling to a new city, we will probably take some photos to record it, or when we see an imposing building, a beautiful lady or a great scenery, we want to take photos with them, it doesn't change no matter in the early days or today.
As time goes on, current photographs change a lot from the early days'. Quality and clarity of photographs are most obvious. In the past, because of the elementary equipment, the colour of photos can just show black and white, moreover, comparing to the photographs in today, it is more difficult to catch the details in the past photos since the graininess. In addiction, taking photos is not provided for everybody in the past, most of people can not support the high price for a photo.
Today, with the development of technology, photographs are growing as well, taking photos are becoming a common entertainment. Most of people are using digital cameras now, so people are able to check their photos once they are taken, sometimes, if they are not so satisfied with the photos, they can just delet them immediately or they can fix the flaws after that. Because the price of cameras become much lower, many people have their own cameras now, so they are able to take photos whenever they want.
Though portraits in the early days of photography and portraits today have many differences, they contain a few similarities in some ways.
