Question 1: How do you feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography? (Consider not only today, but also what you know about the early days of the medium and the lengths photographers went to get the images they envisioned.) Support your argument with at least 2 facts that you find through your own research.
I feel that the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography by making professional photography less respected and impressive, since it is much easier to snap a photo on an iPhone and get a similar result. The article explains that many professional photographers used to have to put in a lot of effort and time to get images that looked good, and it is understood that these photographers are upset because as technology improves, it takes the hard work and dedication out of their art. According to the article, "But it's hard for professional photographers not to feel threatened. "Staff photographers are an increasingly scarce commodity, thanks to aggressive cost-cutting by newspapers and magazines, and amateur photographers are exploiting technological advances to produce stunning images, often using no more than their mobile phones," says Magda Rakita, a 37-year-old student at London's University of the Arts and a professional photographer."Question 2: Speculate on what you think that the future of Photography will be. Holograms, wearable cameras, organic lenses?Question 3: Respond to this quote from the article: "It's really weird," says Antonio Olmos. "Photography has never been so popular, but it's getting destroyed. There have never been so many photographs taken, but photography is dying." In the future, I think that photography will continue to become easier and more accessible for anyone. By this, I mean that the pricing of equipment that takes good photos will become cheaper, and new inventions will come out. I think professional cameras will become smaller, and the saving of images taken on these cameras will be instant. In the future, I also think that printing and sharing of these images through the internet is likely, possibly through holograms.Do you agree with Mr. Olmos? Why or why not?
I think this quote means that photography is dying because people are taking good pictures too easily and people can make any picture look good. People will not stop taking selfies, and pictures like that, but the art of photography is fleeting.
I agree with Mr. Olmos to an extent. I think that it is harder to find quality photography, but that as photography becomes more popular among a greater population, people will learn to appreciate photography as an art.
