Camera Mirrors Photographer Portraiture Reflection Tripod
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the late 1890s showcases a studio meticulously arranged for a multiphotography portrait session. The woman, elegantly dressed and poised, sits with her back to the camera, gazing intently into one of the mirrors placed perpendicular to each other. Two additional mirrors are strategically positioned at her sides, reflecting her image in each mirror and creating a mesmerizing effect. The photographer, standing by the wooden tripod-mounted camera, prepares to capture this intriguing portrait. Multiphotography, a popular technique during the 19th century, involved taking multiple exposures on a single plate or negative, allowing for the merging of multiple images into one. In this case, the use of mirrors enabled the capture of multiple reflections, creating a visually striking final result. The studio's rustic charm is evident in the exposed brick walls, wooden floorboards, and the soft, natural light filtering in through the windows. The woman's attire, with its high collar and voluminous skirt, further emphasizes the period's fashion trends. This photograph is a testament to the artistry and innovation of the 19th-century portrait photography, offering a glimpse into the intriguing world of multiphotography and its captivating results.
