Özet

On dokuzuncu yüzyılın başlangıcı, fotoğraf adına heyecan verici bir dönemdi. Bu yüzyılın başında bir dizi sanatçı, bilim adamı ve amatör aynı anda, farklı coğrafyalarda fotoğrafın keşfi adına deneyler yapıyorlardı. Çeşitli kimyasallarla, yüzey üzerine kalıcı görüntü oluşturmanın peşindeydiler. Dünya ve çevre hakkında gittikçe artan merak, farklı fotografik yöntemlerle bu ihtiyacı kaydetme isteği olarak, farklı alternatif fotografik süreçlere adımlar atılmasıyla başlandı. Bunların ilki olan Daguerreotype tekniğinde kamerada belli belirsiz, silik olarak gördükleri görüntüleri kalıcı olarak yakalamaya çalıştılar ve her denemelerinde bir adım daha başarıya ulaştılar. Çok erken Daguerreotype çalışmaları 1839'dan 1842'nin sonuna kadar öncü fotografik süreç olarak karşımıza çıkar. Bu dönemde farklı fotografik süreçler yaygın bir şekilde kullanıldı ve tartışıldı. Mathew Brady’de bu dönemde diğer sanatçılar, bilim adamları, girişimciler gibi Daguerreotype portreler üretme deneyimini gerçekleştirme adına, stüdyosunda aynalı yüzeylerdeki soluk, gri görünümlerle oluşturduğu portrelerle birçok hikâyeler yaratacaktı.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Mathew Brady, Portre, Daguerreotype Fotoğraf, Daguerreotype Stüdyoları 

The beginning of the nineteenth century was an exciting period for photography. At the beginning of this century, a number of artists, scientists and amateurs were experimenting simultaneously with the discovery of photography in different geographies. They wanted to create a permanent image on the surface with various chemicals. The growing curiosity about the world and the environment began as steps to different alternative photographic processes as a desire to record this need through different photographic methods. In Daguerreotype technique, the first of these, they tried to capture the images they perceived as faint and faintly on the camera and they succeeded one more step in every attempt. Very early Daguerreotype studies appeared as a pioneering photographic process from 1839 to the end of 1842. During this period, different photographic processes were widely used and discussed. In this period, Mathew Brady would create many stories with faded, gray-colored portraits on his mirrored surfaces in order to realize the experience of producing Daguerreotype portraits like other artists, scientists and entrepreneurs.
