Cameras built into other devices so everyone has one at the ready
Computers become darkrooms, promotional and networking devices
Do you think the photographers (the dedicated kind that learned their craft and had all the equipment in the film days) have had their place diminished and or diluted by those monkeys with cameras. |
The art of photography has little to nothing to do with the equipment, especially when shooting glamor or porn. It's how you use the equipment.
It's more about what's going on in the shooters head, the models head and the ability of the shooter to work with those two.
It takes years to learn that and in the meantime the shooter can lose a lot of money. Until the business was prepared to accept nearly anything if the price was right.
