Why is the Photography Field Struggling in Today's World?
Starting this project, I quickly realized that photography is a struggling field. Along with many other people I have spoken to, including my classmates, have agreed that the reason photography is a suffering field is because everyone has access to a camera in today’s world. We all have smart phones in our pockets, with hundreds of pictures on them. With this over abundance of pictures everywhere, people may be getting confused on what is considered photography and what is not. Some of my peers see that so many people are taking photos, so why pay someone to do it while most people are already doing it for free?
Something that relates to this, is the popular website called Instagram. They just recently announced to their users that they will now be able to sell your personal photos for advertising. This is cutting out jobs for photographers. This can severely hurt our economy. Things like this are costing more and more people their jobs and making it harder for people to earn a living. Photography gives people jobs, a living, and a future. So that is another reason why the economy needs it.
