Phoneography

Cameras on contemporary devices become accepted replacements for SLRs and the Tripod

Implications - The use of non-traditional devices for photography is becoming more acceptable among artists and tech consumers. Some claim that the development of “phoneography” and the use of other non-traditional devices (such as tablets and laptops) for photography depreciates the value of the classic art form, but its growing acceptance nonetheless indicates that consumers don’t mind the convergence of contemporary technology and art as long as they achieve the intended results.

  1. Rise of Phoneography — The trend of using smartphones for photography has become increasingly popular, leading to the development of various photography apps and accessories.
  2. Professional Iphone Lenses — The use of detachable lenses for iPhones has allowed users to enhance the quality of their mobile photos, providing a more professional feel.
  3. Holistic Phoneography Apps — The development of all-in-one processing and editing apps for photos has created a new category of phoneography, with consumers looking for seamless photo-taking options.

Industry Implications

  1. Photography — The rise of phoneography has opened new avenues for camera and photography equipment manufacturers to cater to mobile photographers.
  2. Mobile Technology — The mobile technology industry has been heavily influenced by the rise of phoneography, leading to the development of various accessories and additional features for smartphones.
