Description
While the time required to sit for a daguerreotype portrait was much shorter than the time necessary for a painted portrait, the daguerreotype did present some technical challenges. The long exposure time made it necessary for the subject to stay perfectly still for several minutes. Even a small movement could ruin the final result, or create some interesting effects.
