> Hold that thought, and take a look at this item on fashion photographer
Joseph Cartright (once you get by the ego and posturing, there are some
interesting points about digital studio photography):
Lotsa stuff snipped...
> I think that if any place digital is taking over is in product/studio
photography where the efficiency of the process has distinct advantages over
film (after all ,time is money). So a $24k digital camera is probably a
bargain in that business.
Cartright makes some good points. But he's also expended a great deal of
money, time, and energy into color calibration and intergrating his workflow
into using digital technologies. He works in a fast-paced, high-end
environment. I argue, however, that he fills a small niche market. For every
Cartright, there are hundreds of other product photographers whose clients
don't require such fast-paced results and don't have the budget to pay for a
photographer that spends $100K on equipment.
That all of sudden, seeing his light 1 minute and 50 seconds sooner allows
him to nail his light in minutes as compared to "hours or days" seems rather
exaggerated. I would argue that it seems odd he hasn't translated his years
of experience into creating his lighting setup more efficiently. Perhaps I
should refer him to Shel <VBG>
