Baudelaire regarded photography as "a very humble servant of art and science"; a medium largely unable to transcend "external reality".

波德莱尔认为摄影是“艺术和科学的一个非常卑微的仆人”；是一种很大程度上无法超越“外部现实”的媒介。

Remember I said that photography and art photography had largely taken the place of portraiture, to the extent that some critics had declared the genre of portraiture to be dead.

记得我说过摄影和艺术摄影在很大程度上取代了肖像画，以至于一些评论家宣称肖像画这一流派已经死亡。

Art photography kind of took its place, so you can imagine that a portrait artist, would have had a hard time finding acceptance.

艺术摄影取代了它的位置，所以你可以想到，一个肖像艺术家会变得很难被接受。
