Andrew Delaney, Director of Photography at Getty Images, examines how imagery is changing in the light of crowdsourcing and the ongoing digital image revolution.
Key Points:
- “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 disbelief.”
- “We see clichés revisited in photography because we need those clichés – we’re seeing people.”
- “The fact that we now look at the back of the camera makes photography instantly involving.”

The video link doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried it on both Firefox and Safari, and still I can’t get the video to play.

I really wish the person that filmed this would have stayed fixed on the projected images, whats the point in hearing the lecture if you can’t see the examples?
