The year 2023 has been pivotal for the world of photography, marked by significant technological advancements and shifting trends. This year was only about new camera and lens releases, but also about the broader implications developments had on the art and practice of photography.
Coming to you from Park Cameras, this great video takes a look at 2023 in photography, including notable cameras like the Nikon Z8 and significant lens releases like the Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8. And of course, who could forget the introduction of the first global shutter in a full frame consumer camera, featured in the Sony a9 III? While not perfect, this innovation eliminates many problems associated with traditional shutters, such as the rolling shutter effect, and allows for higher flash sync speeds.
Another significant trend discussed in the video is the integration and impact of AI in photography. AI tools have become more prevalent in photo-editing software, offering new capabilities but also raising ethical and artistic questions. The video delves into how these tools can enhance the workflow and results for photographers, like in the case of wedding photography, while also considering the implications for the authenticity and integrity of photographic art, something we're going to have grapple with more and more in the coming year. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
