Which BEST explains why people in photographs from the 1800s tended to look so serious? (1 point)

Question

A smiling was not part of the culture
B they had to sit very still for a few minutes
C photography was used to replace the art of painting
D only the wealthy had access to cameras

Answer 1

The best explanation for why people in photographs from the 1800s tended to look so serious is B they had to sit very still for a few minutes.

Photography during that time required long exposure times, which made it difficult for subjects to hold a smile or change facial expressions without blurring the image.
