There is photography as documentation and photography as art.
Photography as art will never be truly changed by new technologies. Shooting film and developing it yourself is by far the most romantic way to practice the art of photography. It is timeless.
- dagmx 3y agoPhotography as art is absolutely changed by new technologies. Firstly, you mention film but film itself is technology that greatly advanced throughout its life and enabled incredibly different forms of art. Secondly, technology like digital sensors have allowed for millions of people to make expressions of art that would not have been possible otherwise. Shooting film and developing it is romantic to some. But there’s nothing absolute about it.

- vsnf 3y agoDo you think it is perhaps somewhat elitist to suggest that photography that does not involve developing on film is somehow less artistic?
- tsimionescu 3y agoYou may mean to say that older forms of photography in art will never be obsoleted by new technologies - I mostly agree with this. But photography as art has absolutely changed with the times in that there are artists who produce new art with every type of camera available.

It is timeless. This is a very weird assertion given how photography changed just in the film era moving from slow monochrome to faster to slow color and fast B/W, etc. People played with motion blur, lens flare and other distortion effects, color cast and film grain, various darkroom effects, etc. The only constant I remember were people saying that something new wasn’t capable of art, only to be disproven by artists who learned what it was good for. I’m still skeptical that the Vision Pro will be compelling at the price but I’m absolutely certain someone will make something mindblowing with the technology.
