Mathew Brady was inspired to become a photographer by his mentor, Samuel F. B. Morse, who was not only a pioneer in the telegraph industry but also an early photographer. Brady's artistic background in painting and his exposure to Morse’s work in daguerreotype Photography ignited his passion for capturing images. Additionally, the burgeoning interest in photography during the 19th century and the potential for documenting significant events, such as the Civil War, motivated him to pursue this medium.
