A knowledge of photography is just important as that of the Alphabet. The illiterate of the future will be ignorant of the use of the camera and the pen alike.

Laslo Moholy-nagy 1923.

Whilst searching for how to make Photoshop brushes and manipulate them, to make clouds and water. I came across this video.  The first part is about portrait photographers and is quite interesting in looking at how professional photographers are changing how they find jobs and market themselves as portrait photographers, at the same time, as the old portrait photography studios are shutting down. they then go on to talk about how in todays image saturated internet age, people and businesses are starting to realise the differences between their images and professionally taken and produced images. helping more people become professional photographers, who operate and work in a different way to the old studio photographers. the new age are getting their work from work of mouth on facebook and other social media.

 

 

The Quote came from page 10, of Photography: A Critical Introduction, Third Edition, Edited by Liz Wells, Routledge, 2005. which is being read as i listen to the video and they married up. page 11 is Chapter 1, Thinking About Photography is where the post title came from.

 

 

The image is for somebody who needs to do some critical thinking on how to “oven bake cherry tomatoes. ” the image is called “Whats Black and Lives in the Oven?”, as the tomatoes should be quite vibrant and saturated in a deep red colour. (taken on my phone camera, in a Kitchen, I was helping out in.)
