I could be wrong but I feel as if the price of photos may go down as technology advances. Does anyone else feel the same?

"Anyone looking for the logic to that will end up mumbling to himself over a bottle of scotch for years to come"
To quote the end of the article. Quite right, too.

Actually, like the article mentions, the bigger photos (those more like paintings) are priced more like paintings. So advances in hardware (quality of digital pics, resolution, etc.) makes larger format better. But with advances in programs I think it might help out because a photographer can be more creative. That is, not so much for improving that specific image as creating an overall piece of art (combining images, montage, color manipulation, texturized effects). The bottom line in art is that there is a final product the artist has in mind, when that product is no longer limited to what can be seen through the lense then the artistic value of photography increases. |
