Photography

The photography industry is dying, and it's all because of that little device that has invaded our modern lives: the smartphone. The Sharp company released the main camera phone in Japan in 2000, not knowing that it could inspire an entire generation of change. Of course, these images were under resolution and had no real value. In the early 2000's, camera phones were used to capture memories and moments, simply out of curiosity. While one of the main smartphones, the flagship iPhone, arrived on the shelves in 2007, had a 2 megapixel camera with no flash or autofocus. (Compared to the iPhone 7, with a 12-megapixel camera with flash, autofocus, and many other features to enhance your photos.) Camera calls have been a complete change - you can take pictures anytime and anywhere, as long as your phone.

Digital cameras were also very high during the smartphone era. These cameras were small and straightforward to use, often taking the right quality photos that could keep family memories in a safe digital way, and easy sharing. The business of photography as we all know it is going to start to need a makeover as the camera market is growing. You have not visited Sears Portrait Studio so you need to take photos of your family and print them, and you do not need to take pictures. Those with a keen eye for staging and lighting can take pictures and see their results quickly, allowing adjustments to require a well-designed image. Experts began charging for external photography, which was a reversal of the novel to take those famous family photos. The photography industry has also grown, with the launch of social media platforms such as MySpace, Facebook and Instagram. These sites allow the sharing of digital photos - which has led to a completely new era of photography: social media.

Capturing photos on social media looks like this, photos for the purpose of sharing it with friends and family on social media. The market has grown exponentially as smartphones have produced better cameras, produced better images. Photos are often instantly shared on social media, gaining popularity and comment. many of us simply “do it for Gram,” that is, take pictures by simply making an illegal response on Instagram. (We saw the same trend with the rise of selfie in the late 2000s.) While there is nothing wrong with longing to keep your loved ones as far away as you can, or wishing to share your art with friends, photography with the intention of seeing it destroy the photography industry.

Photography is an art, and it is losing value as smartphones become more sophisticated. With a sophisticated phone, like the new iPhone X, a person with no experience or experience in photography can create an almost identical DSLR image with a talented photographer. With a few adjustments within the editing app, anyone can become a photographer. While I really like the smartphone camera delivery, improving the quality of the phone's cameras reduces the value and value of a high-quality camera. People basically carry an SLR in their pocket.

Let's go back, folks. Photography is an art, and photographers wish to remain so. Take pictures because it is your passion, your talent, and your interests. Share it for the purpose of getting your art there, not for social media. Use the camera once in a while - it’s a completely different experience, I promise. Smartphone Companies: stop upgrading your camera! Use that brain power and money to make a wireless phone, why not use it? For you, student, consider taking a few memories with your phone, and putting them down. Live for now. the image costs a thousand words, but the memory costs a thousand.
