If you haven't read the best-selling book, "Who Moved My Cheese", by Spencer Johnson, now would be a good time. The shrinking value of this older lighting equipment evident by its falling re-sale value at your local camera store. Some of this outdated, traditional gear, gathering dust in the corner, while newer, lighter and less powerful lighting units are taking over. All of this at higher ISO's than ever thought possible! This is effectively changing the game plan for location and studio shoots, where bulky, powerful strobes were once king. Large format shooters are losing ground to studios using 12, 16 and 21 mega pixel digital cameras, that can match the output of most med-format gear and give 4X5 transparency film a run for its money. The newer DSLR's have made it possible and even reasonable to shoot the average assignment at much higher ISO's than would be prudent with film cameras. Thank goodness my lack of funds restrained me from re-purchasing almost all of the bulky, expensive, workhorse gear that once lined the walls of my studio. To facilitate this new outlook and motivation, I decided to piece together some new equipment and a new attitude. With the digital revolution and web technology changing the way I deal with clients, it seemed like time to re-invest in myself and get the ball moving forward again. A few years of a slowing economy and shrinking business prospects had eaten away at my gear and patience. No less than 2 years ago, I was contemplating re-building my equipment / lighting arsenal to its former glory. For the old-school photographer, still trying to market himself or herself with the tired film-is-better mantra, budgets will soon push these stragglers into the 21st century. What good photographer wouldn't want a couple of 4800 watt second Speedo packs, or half a dozen 102 heads, or 15 heavy duty light stands that can reach to the sky? The answer to that question has abruptly changed and the affects on the bottom line, budgets, travel, hiring assistants etc. Life will be grand.įor the small group of photo luddites who still cling to film cameras, praying for a revival of old school technology, it's time to give up and join the future.before it's too late! Not only has digital changed the nature of photography and related businesses, but it has also changed the way we work and the type of equipment we use to get the job done. Oh well, I guess we will all be lining up for our 'free' OBAMA BUCKS from Big Brother to buy our ration of toilet paper and day old bread. The hard fact that one day these young photographers will be too tired and old to produce and may have to rely on the 'well' of their life's work to draw upon ( financially ) has passed this generation by. There are just too many young, foolish and talented idiots that don't recognise the value of their work. I'm doing my part, but I think it's a losing battle.

Maybe they could come and sell my house ( If I had one ) for free and then I could tell all my friends.so they could call and get some free shit to! No images without compensation, zip, zero, nada. "Please let us know if you would be interested in discussing this with us." "Would you consider giving us permission to use some photos if we provide your name and website address for credit? "

They weren't sure they could actually pay anything to use the images? Recently, I received a call from the second largest real estate firm in the southeast ( owned by a 9 Billion dollar company ) for some travel scenic images that they loved, images that were quite unique and well suited for their purposes. It seems that the worst offenders are the clients with the most money and resources, the bigger the name, the more likely that the client wants it for free.

You ( Art Director ) get great scenics and stock images that the photographer spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours producing and you get to benefit for nothing more than the promise of a 6pt photo credit in the ass crack of a double truck!

For the offenders, catalog and calendar publishers, real estate firms, public relations weasels and pro bono whores, it's a win win game. The desire to procure images and use them for monetary gain ( their own advertising ) without the photographer receiving compensation for his / her work. It's the trend off FREE! Yes, I said FREE. I've noticed in the last few years a disturbingly frequent shift in the attitudes of Art Buyers and businesses seeking to find images for advertising and promotion.
