This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What is the past and present state of photography? Is it dead, or just waking up? How can past technologies inform us about ourselves, and even help us predict the future?
I am a full time commercial and event photographer. It was a strong interest that turned into a money-making thing that turned into how I make almost all my money.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Yeah. I should have put in a bit more about the future. My prediction is that technology will continue to detach people from actual tangible involvement with image making, like chemistry, wet paper, metal dials and larger amounts of time wondering if the film is OK. But also people will find richness in the history of photography and indulge in tintypes and other vintage processes making the future full of anachronisms.

Leif Norman I think modern post processing, although not as hands on as photography in the past, gives us some control over the picture.

Bret Reinbold Untouched images are still theoretically not accurate. Images have always been edited. I don't exactly like autotune but the talkbox and vocoder have been here much longer than autotune and also like photography, music has been highly edited, or well mixed for a long time. Though I do admit the computer allows for much more editing, it shouldn't be feared but rather explored imo.

Great job! Thanks for the additional idea. I agree with you that a sector of us have already and will continue to branch off and dive into the multiple alternative processes in photography. Especially with us now living in the age of a pandemic and being forced to slow down.

Great talk Leif, very entertaining. I agree that along with the latest technological developments, traditional photographic processes will also have place. I have been doing alternative processes of late and began to develop my own B&W film and its a blast.

He is dressed as a magician because he is trying to illustrate the "magic" of the photographic image.

Very entertaining and informative, Leif. I would love to mix up chemicals with you and build a Gladys....or perhaps a Hilda or Ermintrude! Lol... Where can I see your work online or in publications? Thanks, Martin (London, England).
