SMILE! Story of the surprise seaside snappers
LOVED or hated, portrait photographers were once commonplace wherever people gathered for leisure or pleasure - especially at the seaside.
They were a frequent sight for over a hundred years, sometimes using equipment and processes that had changed little since the previous century.
However, despite their prolific output, they have been largely written-out of photographic history.
Now a new exhibition the National Media Museum in Bradford celebrates the work of these once familiar, but now largely forgotten photographers.
