Good grief, can they pack any more clickbait ads and popups into that page??

Amazing. I love how in some of the non-posed ones you can see color fringing where the subject(s) moved while the photographer was swapping the plates and filters.

I guess this is why there are no "duck-faces"? Photography was too costly and time consuming to waste it on nonsense.

Up until 10 years ago it as too costly to waste on nonsense.

Simply beautiful.

I always wonder why people long ago didn't smile in old photographs and portraits.

If genuine stuff, impressive.

I didn't think it was bad at all. I've seen pages with so much clickbait and ads they had trouble loading on a MacBook. This one was actually pretty low key, and at least they put all the photos on one page together instead of making you click through them so they can make you view more ads.

Early photographic emulsions needed long exposures and smiles decay quite quickly. That would lead to motion blur. Indeed, some of the very early photographers had to clamp their subjects heads in place to prevent blur:

Try it: Smile at yourself in a mirror. Hold it for 10, 20 or more seconds. Watch your mouth. Try to hold it for a minute or two.

Many politicians are quite adept at it.

Wish I could clamp some of them in place
