Abstract

The refinement of digital cameras and the ease with which many photographers, especially younger ones, manage to capture an image by means of simple and intuitive steps, without the need for detailed technical knowledge, has caused considerable concern amongst photography teachers. This study aims to discover, from a bibliographic revision and statistical sociological investigation into the state of photography linked to art, if the widespread mechanical attitude that seems to have taken hold amongst a significant percentage of photography enthusiasts also affects the professionals or if, on the other hand, they pay attention to photographic expression and its intention beyond simply pressing the button. Therefore, the first question consists of establishing to what extent the work processes of the professionals have been affected by the use of this ever more intuitive technology, and asking if this occurs because the photographic code is so assimilated that all the decisions a photographer makes before taking a photograph are disregarded. In the face of the revolution brought about by the digital system, the second approach aims to clarify if there is once again a need for a controlled and deliberate photographic process, which would make it necessary to redefine the functions of the photograph. Here we can begin to specify the third and fourth doubts: if there exists an idiosyncrasy of photography (the essence) and if it is possible to propose a photographic 'good practice' in the current digital panorama.
