to happen to photography and the WORST thing to happen to photographers. I've been saying this for the last couple of years. As a matter of fact, this is my statement. I coined this phrase. "Digital is the best thing to happen to photography and the worst thing to happen to photographers." Dave Savarino
What do I mean? Digital capture is like comparing High Definition TV to an old black & white TV. The resolution, image quality is the best that I have seen in my 40 years as a professional photographer. I have seen it all. I printed my own photographs in the darkroom for many years. Now I still print my own images, but on archival inkjet printers. These images will last a hundred years compared to the 15 to 25 years printed in the darkroom. Yes, the quality of photography is many times better since digital photography appeared.
Why is it the worst thing to happen to photographers? Everybody who buys a camera thinks that they can do the same that I can do. The photography industry is changing so rapidly. I really don't know where it is going to go from here.
It has taken 40 years for me to accumulate the knowledge of photography that I have today. Lighting, posing, composition and how to process the image. It's not all that easy.
I'm going back to the studio. Classic portraiture. MODELS WANTED !!!
