Longitudinal study projects study people over time and so it is fitting for our homepage to feature images of Scottish people through the ages. The style and quality of the images provides an interesting visual of imaging technology as well as our changing relationship with the camera. From stiff portraits to the relaxed smiles – what we see is a reminder of change.
