photography Today

by: Aly Nycole

 How has digital technology changed the way we use
photography?

Digital photography has revolutionised image making. It has

also made news events much more immediate. One can e-mail
or place an image on the Internet and in a flash its the other
side of the world and in the papers or in the news bulletins on
TV.
 With the technology to retouch photographs, have
we strayed completely from the Modernist idea that
an image captures a moment forever?

NO! Technology lets us abridge the image to more closely represent

what is there, the same tech will you blur or change any image to a
blob for the IMPRESSIONIST effect.
 What makes photography as much of
an art as painting or sculpture?

I think taking a picture is a form of art. Just because you didn't

make it doesn't make it not a peice of art. Art comes in many
different forms, shapes, textures.
In what ways does twenty-first-century
photography reflect postmodern characteristics?

Futurism, Dada, Surrealism, Pop Art, Postmodern all these art

movements gave birth to Post modern -art. In brief, it was a
reaction against realism, modern, artistic and elite.
