Posed photographs, such as the one above, were probably taken in a photographer’s studio somewhere around the late 1800s. • This photo, taken in the mid-20th century, is still posed, but it represents a
more natural family look and was probably taken on a Kodak Brownie camera by a
family member.
“...if there is a “missing” person in your family photos, consider that he very well may be the
photographer. Determining the identity of the photographer may unlock some
mysteries in your family tree, particularly if that person never showed up in
any photos!”
