moving things. The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and 
processing equipment. However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States. 
After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities. 
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous 
people. The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality. Brady was also 
the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and 
ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible. 
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film ready-
made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the 
film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They did not have to 
carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made 
photography less expensive. 
With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. 
They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places. They called these pictures 
"snapshots". 
Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and 
books also used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real 
than drawings. 
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that photography 
could do more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
