When photography became popular it was accused of being fake and
lazy – the same critique Instagram is receiving today. Do you think that
photographers should embrace such photo-sharing websites more? Will it
be a more accepted form of art or photography one day?
If you don’t evolve you are left behind. If you ignore what is relevant then you
become irrelevant. We have an untamed desire to keep moving forward as
a society and it’s still a truth that true talent will always be recognised. I think
the establishment of any era are the lazy and fake parts of the equation.
The new fresh ideas and concepts take the most amount of energy to come
to fruition, and challenge the status quo of what has come before. With
the growth of technology, I do believe that there will come a time that the
images you’re able to capture on your phone will be similar to what you can
capture with a ‘real’ camera. This will not distract from the same basic truth
that real artists will still be real artists and no matter what medium, creativity is
the only reality that will surface.
