People in older pictures seemed to want to appear somber and to be taken seriously. Why do Modern public figures, politicians, monarchs, etc smile in pictures?

Do you mind holding that smile for forty five minutes while my daguerreotype completes thr exposure?

Smiling entails showing teeth. Showing teeth was common in slave markets.
Most of humanity is slaves and proles, so smiling is more popular than ever.
You will never see a classical statue smiling.

to show off their thousands of dollars of dental work
Jace Walker
It's probably originated from some ad campaign by camera companies or some shit like that.
Thomas Bailey
Almost nobody got painted. Only high class people and they wanted to look serious since it would be their only painting, same with old phoyographs
Jace Taylor
It's weird how presidents are expected to smile like this in their portraits now
They're not our "buddy," they're the fucking commander in chief
Anthony Nguyen
It’s an American thing
For me, smiling is a sign of intellectual debility and poorfags that dump all of their wealth in the dentist office of dr. shekelstein
Ian Sanders
>You will never see a classical statue smiling.
Incorrect, google "archaic smile". However they never show the teeth.
Owen Wilson
I had to go back to Nixon to find someone smiling without teeth, and back to LBJ to find someone not smiling at all
Caleb Reed
I said classical Sven. Not that pelasgian minoan shit copied from Egypt.
Nolan Diaz
anglo shallowness amplified by american innocence
Gavin Lewis
I don't smile but I also have shitty teeth
Luke Evans
They were being coerced.
Bentley Cruz
Compared to a serious and competent leader.
Xavier King
when cameras became a thing it was customary to make a plain face for the photo. people would assume people who smiled in photos were either retarded or mentally ill.
Ryan Jenkins
Smiling with fake teeth is even worse. It’s an outright confession of the lack of discipline for a good and regular dental hygiene
Juan Cooper
The Etruscans also had smiling statues. Though again not showing teeth.
Adam Perez
People used to have class and dignity.
Jayden Johnson
that's not his official portrait though
this is
Bentley Lopez
Nah, people wanted to smile back then. It's just that the long exposure time of cameras meant you had to make an expression that you'd be able to keep the same for a few seconds.
Logan Thomas
They didn't smile because it took a long ass time to take the picture u tards.
Brandon Martin
yeah but they make you more attractive to the majority of people, and attractive people are treated better in every single aspect of their lives

Same as nowadays since the photographer takes a burst of pictures - hundreds, even thousands
Just take a look at the celebs at some random gala
Hunter Sanchez
this. but yeah, most older photos, and those taken more recently in ex-communist counties, everyone looks like a stone faced manikin. nothing wrong with, gasp, showing a little character in a photo.
Daniel Hernandez
That might be true for the American bling bling culture, but you’re not fooling anyone here. Bleached teeth means chavy background with a shallow mind and superficial personality
Justin Diaz
It makes you seem friendlier you faggot stop over complicating everything, you're just bored.

>say cheese
No dipshit I was literally the only person who refused to smile from the time I was a toddler. They thought I was weird because of it. No bitch you're weird for smiling.
Ryder Foster
>That might be true for the American bling bling culture
i.e. the dominant culture in the world?
Jaxson Wright
Supposedly you look better when you smile.
Jose Smith
I miss the old kanye
the never smile kanye

Matthew Brown
Good point, I'm done smiling. I'll let the face paint smile for me.
Jack Wright
Yeah, if by better you mean less threatening and more agreeable
Ryder King
Gas that nigger
Lincoln Sanders

Luke Mitchell
Yes, the globohomo menace
Luke Smith
I'm not a nigger, think about what you just said.
Luke Flores
kek the only thing he can perceive at that moment is the scream of the butterfly
Owen Cook
I hate smiling for pictures. Hell, I hate getting my pictures taken to begin with. Too narcissistic for me. But if you're going to take my picture, I'm not going to put on a fake smile for you like a sociopath.
Thomas Rogers
You know what women call agreeable men who they aren't threatened by whatsoever?
Friends.
