Week 5 EOC: The Best Part of My Business Plan

The Digital Single Lens Reflex camera has been the greatest factor in developing trends in fine art photography. These cameras allow the artist to do photography in ways and situations that were unheard of or very difficult with film cameras. In order to get professional results for art photography there is also the need to use pro level equipment, from the choice of the camera to the lighting and accessories used. “Typically, the prosumer lines of camera and lighting equipment have fewer features then the professional line and more features than the consumer.”(JOHN HARRINGTON, Best Business Practices for Photographers”, chapter 2, page 9) Also the digital darkroom allows us to manipulate the photographs in an almost unlimited manner. This has caused a paradigm shift in art photography. From surreal too ultra-realistic, from turning a photograph into a soft impressionistic painting to creating something that has never been seen before.
