LA Notes: Andrew Delaney On The Changing Face of Photography

by Piers Fawkes

Psfk La Andrew Delaney

Andrew Delaney of Getty Images took the PSFK Conference Los Angeles audience through the changes we’re seeing in modern photography that reflects culture and the ongoing digital image revolution. Here are a few of his great insights:

“The internet is not just a place to store and share the imagery – it gives them a chance to make money from them. Regular people compete with established photographers. But imagery is only meeting demand.”

“In terms of style, we’re seeing a high use of realistic imagery in advertising and editorial – real people doing real things. Above all, it’s authentic. It’s a created reality that suspends belief.”

“We see clichés revisited in photography because we need those Cliches – we’re seeing people.”

“The fact that we now look at the back of the camera makes photography instantly involving.”
