He suggests the wooden poses and fantasy compositions would be of little value today as art.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Everett-Green offers a contrary view of Notman as a skilled craftsman and businessman rather than an innovative photographer. He seems unaware that Victorian photographic media and equipment demanded longer exposures.

Notman solved these two issues by having his subjects hold a firm look and using carefully enacted composites to create his then famous \u00a0group photographs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
