I often wonder about the future of photography. In the past, the advances were often film-based, maybe rendering colors better, lower ISO, higher ISO, less grain, etc. Today, we have megapixels, gigapixels, artificial intelligence, digital sensors with light sensitivity that was previously unimagined (upwards to 102,400). We have software that can automatically detect faces, people, subjects, skies, and objects. Our cameras can do focus tracking, and if we so choose they can even set their own shutter speed, aperture, “film speed”.
To some, we have made photography too easy. To people like me, I’m somewhat a geek and nerd who loves technology, it is exciting. It may be true that some tasks may have become easier the artist utilizing this modern technology needs to continue to master their tools and create photography and art that rivals the advancement of the tools we use.
