Hey all! The last few years photography has become available to almost everyone with a few bucks. People use Instagram, Flickr, Facebook, and whatever to share their pictures.
If you want to work as a photographer, most of the time you either have to be really good, or cheap, I've noticed. I've seen people with great talent give up on photography as a job, because they simply couldn't
get inside the 'real' business, and/or were constantly asked to lower their prices around minimum wage, etc.
So I was wondering, what's the future of photography? How do you expect it will look? What areas do you think (journalism, fashion, infant/family photography for example) will stay around for long? And do you think more or less photographers will be able to make a living in those areas?
Also, do you think being a photographer will mean you have to be a photoretoucher 80% of the time as well? And that photographers need to work in more areas than one (digital artist, photo retouchers, product sellings as well, etc) to make a living out of it?
I'm very curious how you all think our future will look.
