Top 40 Tech Photography Concepts in September

From Retro-Inspired Cameras to Model-Booking Apps

— September 30, 2015 — Tech
The top September 2015 tech photography ideas are indicative in a shift the way photos and videos are being captured and shared. Although many young consumers have come to rely on the camera built into a phone for taking photos, new photography tools are emerging to draw consumers away from phones and apps.

A few of these impressive photography tools include the kit-like Fotokite Phi drone, the KFC Memories Bucket that prints photos and the The Focal Camera, which empowers anyone to build an advanced camera using only a few easily accessible hardware tools.

Now that many consumers are taking to the great outdoors for adventures, they are discovering that they need more specialized devices for shooting photos, processing and sharing across social media networks.
