The art (or science) of photography has undergone major changes in the past decades. The changes come not only with the products and the processes but also in terms of photographers’ lingo, or the way they converse about photography in general.

What can be noted as changes in the art or science of photography? A lot of things. In the past, we only have film cameras in rolls of 12, 24, 36 or 48 shots. The camera itself may either be a point and shoot camera or a higher end single-lens reflex camera. You load the film into the camera, make sure it does not get any exposure, and do your picture taking. After you have finished shooting pictures, you will then drop it off your photo shop, with a clerk or attendant who should make sure your film does not get “exposed”, otherwise you will have no photos at all. After some time as per advisory of your photo shop attendant, you will be getting your photos developed from the negatives. The negative strips of film will likewise be given you in order for you to be able to “re-copy” your pictures. Once you get your pictures after “developing” that is the only time you will see if your pictures are complete or if some of them are destroyed. Read more…

Many friends of mine have been hooked to photography. They have been trying for some time to convince me to join them in their club meetings, also recommending for that purpose certain camera models, ranging from great point and click digital cameras, to low end SLRs or single lens reflex cameras, to really high end digital SLR cameras, with different and varying features, depending on your photography requirements, and likewise depending on your level as a photographer, whether amateur, learning or already a professional. After some prodding, I finally gave in. I still had to borrow my sister’s point and click digital camera. But after that first meeting where I seemed to enjoy the speakers’ sharing and tips, and after pats of approval for lucky shots that I also thought looked great, I myself was hooked. Not long after I did get my own camera, one that is point and click (some call it point and shoot) but with the quality and features very similar to SLR cameras.

Other friends tried to dissuade me from engaging in photography as a hobby, saying it is a very expensive one. I don’t think so. Gone are the days when people would spend a fortune to sustain a hobby such as photography; when photos still had to be printed to see the results, which means high probability that you will be wasting a lot of money finding the best shots of a single subject. Nowadays, with digital cameras and digital SLRs, all you need is view pictures you have just taken in the provided LCD screen of digital cameras, and see for yourself right there and then, and determine whether the shot is worth printing. Not only that, you need not organize an exhibit in a formal gallery of sorts just for you to display your great shots. The world wide web now abounds with so many websites with photography design that enables web users to share their best shots with others through photo sharing sites. In these sites, the background photography design alone is enough to keep you hooked to photography – the desire to capture something of splendid beauty and magnificence.

Are you in the glamour photography business? A lot of people think that because most modern cameras and current innovations in photo technology paved the way for high technology in photographs, glamour photography is slowly running out of business, and suffering a slow, painful death. Think again. Although almost all people are truly equipped with a basic digital camera or a really feature-packed one, or a high end DSLR camera, it cannot be concluded with certainty that glamour photography studios are passé. A ‘traditional’ photo studio will still have a good clientele base. There are those wanting to have their identification card picture taken, and believing they cannot do the same as per the ID specifications with some digital cameras, particularly the low end ones. There are those who intend to apply for passports with really complex instructions and specifications, which leave them no choice but to seek the services of a real photography studio that specializes in this kind of formal photography variant. The same goes for school identification card pictures, even those pictures you need for any application whether for school, for business or for employment. And then there are those who find it impossible to get a complete family picture because someone definitely has to be behind the lens whether you are using a basic digital camera or an advanced professional camera, such that the only solution is to go altogether to the professional photo studio and have the family shots taken, and framed, as may be included in the photo studios’ offered “packages” for glamour photography. The same goes for yearbook pictures, as most glamour photo studios likewise undertake complete responsibility even for layouting and printing, as well as bookbinding.

So if you are in the glamour photography business, do not be resigned to the idea that yours is a dying business. Go beyond your regular, ordinary marketing strategies and invest your time and effort, not necessarily money, in building a website to promote your business. Pay special attention to the creation of an exquisite photography design that will surely captivate online clientele, hence the possibility of boom for your business.
