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.”
