THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MEDIA PHOTOGRAPHERS

SATURDAY JUNE 30

12:30pm - 1:15pm
Talk: The Future of Photography

Everyone today has a camera, from a phone to a high-end video camera. Are we over saturating our culture with imagery or is visual imagery simply the foremost way we communicate? Many wonder where the “business” of photography is headed, most believe the video medium will be the dominant technology as distribution on multiple platforms is easily available. The future is really anybody’s guess. One thing is for certain, we are changing the way we communicate with on another – but the bottom line is no matter how the story is delivered – it’s our ability to convey the story that counts.
