It's the samr discussion we had long ago when digital cameras cane abouut and image editing became easy and commonplace. Yes, there is a lot of badly edited stuff around now. For example, most meme images on social media are made by putting new captions on old content, and maybe changing a few details about the rest of the image. No, photographers didn't become obsolete. They professionalized.
- great_psy 3y agoPhotographers totally became obsolete. When cameras were harder to use, you had national geographic taking you all over the world to photograph different locations because only you and a handful of people knew how to take a picture properly. Now you just hire a local person with a camera to go take the picture you want since it’s much easier to use a camera. You had people doing photography for ads, now stock photography will do for most brands. You had people buy high school portraits, I am not sure if people buy those anymore, but a picture of what you looked like in high school is worth a lot less when you can take a selfie every other day.
