As with all media, massive changes are underway in photography. A major shift in elevating the role of the amateur who, equipped with digital cameras and cell phones capable of recording images, now plays a major role in visually defining the world we live in. Will images, such as those from the London bombing captured by cell phones, or photographs from Abu Ghraib ultimately replace those made by professionals? What will be the role of the professional in this reconfigured world?
Moderated by the Photography & Imaging department's Professor Fred Ritchin. This event will be free to all NYU students and Faculty.
