Louis Daguerre was a French artist and photographer who is recognized for his invention in the 1830s of the first practical process of photography, the daguerreotype. How did this new invention impact communication? a. Photography greatly enlarged human capacity to communicate and express ideas and also enhanced the printed word in books and newspapers.
b. The invention of the daguerreotype made it possible for humans to capture fine details in just a few minutes of exposure and made it affordable for common people to have pictures.
c. As photography advanced, scientists were able to expand their knowledge of the science of how light affected certain chemicals and use this knowledge in many ways to benefit others.
Photography made it possible to meet the demand for portraitures- many of which still remain-for the middle class, which arose in that same time because of the Industrial Revolution.
