Renowned film director Wim Wenders hits out at “phone photography”

BBC:

Renowned German film director and photographer Wim Wenders has hit out at phone’ photography’.

Speaking at an exhibition of his Polaroid works, he said photography was dead and thinks mobile phones are to blame.

“The trouble with iPhone pictures is nobody sees them,” Wenders says. “Even the people who take them don’t look at them anymore, and they certainly don’t make prints.”

Wenders isn’t just some “cranky old man” we can easily ignore. I don’t necessarily agree with his overall premise but he does make some interesting points. Personally, I rarely take any photo that I don’t want to share with others in any number of ways.
