Mathew Brady took many photos during the time of war, but rarely of actual battle scenes. This was because there was a large amount of equipment necessary to operate a camera and the exposure times were slow. Instead, he focused on taking pictures of aftermath of battle, military portraits, and scenes of camp life.
