The question is, can today's photographs be considered art, or simply millions of 'captures' of the mundane?
Will billions of new photographers achieve artistic greatness?
The rise and popularity of smartphone apps like Instagram, Picstitch, and Twitpic have sparked the age-old debate surrounding the artist, the artwork, and the medium. If every individual who owns of iPhone can download photography apps, splash on a filter, and call if art, have we reached the pinnacle of photographic degradation. Alternatively, have we finally achieved the complete democratization of photography?
What is our view of what makes a photographer any more? Do you believe in this democratisation of photography or have you given it a thought or two?
