[A ]panel discussion moderated by Tampa Bay Business Journal Editor-in-chief and FMoPA board member Alexis Muellner
Photography has changed, for the better or worse according to many points of view. But one thing we can all agree on is that the medium is now an integral part of our current culture in surprising and compelling ways.
The introductions of the digital camera and its integration into cellphones and the internet are the turning point in terms of how images are created, used and disseminated from social media to fine art, public photojournalism, statement and culturally based exposures.
Images are now at the forefront of our communications. They simply form how we relate to others and with that we must be aware of the pitfalls of imagery, as well as their immense benefit on many aspects. How the use of photographs has changed drastically in the last 20 to 25 years is obvious to many, yet even more relevant to anyone involved in the medium, commercially, culturally and artistically.
This in-depth panel discussion will attempt to decipher the drastic changes in photography and their applications within multiple platforms and outcomes. The panel represents a diverse group of professionals who are all immersed in the many aspects of images, photographs that now fully represent our world, rightly or wrongly.
