In Reply to: This is a bit surprising; Sports Illustrated just layed off its last photographers. posted by free.ranger on January 23, 2015 at 11:58:16:
In my previous job where I worked for a Photoshop plug-in company
I saw this coming. Social media websites, cameras on phones, the
obsession/fascination with LoFi photography, and less expensive
decent digital cameras have all contributed to this IMHO. Crappy
low-res pictures are in fashion these days for the general public.I also thought that the increased quality of the cameras on cell
phones would also hurt the mid market digital camera market as well.
I saw an article on just that last year.There will always be a need for well taken high-res shots, but
that market is greatly diminished from what it was. Trying to make
money as a photographer these days is a tough gig.My 2 cents....
