'Mobile phones have killed photography' - BBC News

Camera cellphone it’s just an instant photography.. I believe more efforts you put into for creating one picture is priceless.. and you can tell how artistic it is.. that’s real photography..

The more you take, the less you have😔

If the image is manipulated then it is an illustration. If not then it is a photograph. Even "selfies" were self-portraits in the earliest days of photography.

I designed a camera concept back in the 80s for the Japanese that looked like a mobile phone. Long before digital, Internet and mobile phones. I was also a amateur photographer using a Nikkormat camera at the time. That's progress folks!

U know he's actually kinda right.

"Phontography"

'Photoart' should be the new word ;)

But cameras are expensive as fuck, so fuck it

Fraudtography

phone-graphy

That's inevitable

BBC- you're fake news!

its the same... Photography same File name img files

Smart Photography

All I know is that A DSLR still takes better photos than a phone camera Shrugs

I know a word that can replace photograpy but not photograpy it's notograpy

I think he is right.People click insects flowera pictures by focusing.Many do focus only say it photography.

This guy is totally wrong. He needs a shrink. What a loser.

the word for it is Topicography

Neotography

it's ironic that the image of Wenders is of such poor quality. Maybe it's deliberate...

I agree, it's practically killed the profession. Nevertheless there's no getting away from it, it IS photography. His is a rhetorical question...

Apple will next remove camera so can remove notch

Mobilography?

Phonetography!

Imageography

'Life is Strange' didn't agree.

The word you seek is Phone-tography! Haha just made that up!

Obviously, he is too old not to know the art of photoshops, a deformation of the reality like medieval period.

Every good photograph isn't created by the tool, it comes from the vision of the person behind the camera. That will always be the main ingredient in anything creative. Most people with cameras will like to think of themselves as a photographer but the truth is they are usually deluded fools. They have no technical ability in understanding how a camera works or understand light, both of which I understand very well. I still shoot on 6x7 medium format film and develop my own images. I just smile and look on when I see people with the latest technology thinking they know how to use it.

This man is right on point except for one thing "not everyone is a photographer. I don't know how many times people with cell phones asked me what I think about their photograph? And they would have no impact no idea or have the simplest clue of what composition is - thus, to me they are simply "phoneagrophers" at best. Most, shoot with their phones or other words "spray and pray" -


The moral of the story is - phones did not kill the photography at least for me, I take pride in my work and enjoy composing the image that tells a story and order prints. I don't care what others do. The only issue that I see, is people with cellphones interfering in the professional environment such as weddings, communions, etc.

Mobile phones killed bad cameras, not photography, continue do your job if you good. The problem of pro photographers, most of them are crap and any cheep filter makes better job than them

We are on 2019 technology and the world evolve and evolving. We must be open mind and embrace the change.

Phone photography is just a con. You can spend $500 - $600 on a phone and do that every 1 or 2 years. Then you have to pay the phone company another $50, or more, a month to get those photos posted to the social web sites. So am I jealous of all those fools who spend a fortune every month to be photographers? Shit no.


I spent $1600 for my camera and it will last me 5 years or more. Yes they will have new models every 2 to 3 years just like car manufactures but no one buys a new model every year. OK, my uncle did. But he had the money to do so. My point is cameras, and smartphones, have evolved to the point where it isn't necessary to upgrade every year. But for some strange reason smartphones owners WILL upgrade every year.


So am I jealous of smartphone users? Again shit no. Like all art 99% of it sucks anyway.


I also have one request of all those phone photographers - will you please learn how to take pictures in Landscape mode.

Camerography from the camera that is on every phone nowadays

PHOBBING

anti=photography.

Playing with images.

Cliography

Copography - coping the graphics.

Selfie is a brand new phrase I say vain.

What begs the question is wouldn't printing out those photos be considered harming the environment!?

Wenders has not identified what was present in photography and how that is missing in digital imaging.

i use 35 mm film

im still using 35mm film and never going to stop

There’s not a word for it because it doesn’t exist. I do look at the pictures I take with my phone. I always show pictures of holidays to people and I use the good ones for social media or for on my wall. The best pictures that people make go viral on social media, and will be used everywhere. Photography is more alive than ever, because it’s accessible for everyone. Because there are a lot of good photographers, the old ones might feel less special maybe.

I did some black and white photography and learned to enjoy it. However Wenders who also has made black and white movies, needs to remember that Smartphones are convenient.
