WHAT KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHY WILL WE SEE NOW!

Photography is one of those fields that change with time.  What kind of trends do we see happening in photography now?  It is hard to speculate but I am seeing interesting trends in a subject called “Minimalism”.  That would be similar to the photo above,  where the background of the subject is very plain or minimal and the subject is there, but it does not fill up the image.  Here are a couple of examples of minimalism:

I hope you get an idea of what minimalist photography is.  It’s a new trend that I like.  

CAMERA EQUIPMENT FOR 2023

Technology is changing, and changing good for photography.  Canon is introducing their new camera sometime in February, Nikon in March, Sony is coming on with a new one or two as well.  Why are there so many changes every year.  This is what technology does.  And it has hit the camera market just like the cell phone market.  

Remember that we just had information about the new Samsung S23Ultra which have an image sensor of 200mp.  Now keep in mind, that sensor is extremely small in comparison to the big DSLR or Mirrorless cameras.   With the size of the sensors in the big camera, the 46mp camera just being introduced will still blow away the 200mp phone sensor.  

Can  you see that in the future, there will probably be an image sensor in these DSLR cameras that will make images so sharp that it will be scary to see how sharp those are.  Just watch for these changes happening all the time.  I still think that these “Advanced Amateur” cameras or Pro Cameras will always be going through changes as much as the cell phones, and they will ALWAYS take better pictures than your cell phone.

I can see, however, that the cell phone camera will be a great backup camera to the serious photographer.  That is how good they have become.  The need for the small “point-and-shoot” cameras will be gone soon.

PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY WILL CHANGE DRAMATICALLY AS WELL!

We will start seeing more interesting poses, more jewelry involved with people, and group photos will become unique:

I think the “Portrait Studio” may be going.  People want to be photographed in their natural habitat.  It’s a great photo, but the studio seems to be going away more and more.

I like this kind of photo because you get a beautiful portrait of the couple, and they are willing to touch face to face.  Feelings emoted!  

There will be many more photographic changes in the year 2023.  I hope you will stay with me through all this.
