In ancient times, perhaps what was documented was a portrait of a painting of someone who had a great influence on the people of his day, or the painting of someone who had great significance for the artist himself. Along with the discovery of cameras, the impact to the needs of people on the skills of the painters to be reduced. People prefer to capture their self-portraits by using a camera that is able to create a picture faster, without having to take a relatively longer time compared to the process of making a painting. Not only that, the rapid development of camera technology from time to time until the digital era, making a photo is not a difficult thing.
Since the discovery of early SLR cameras that still use film as image storage media, maybe making a photo is not too easy. There are ancient people who say, "If the picture so, print a few sheets yes. I want too. "After the picture was taken. By using the movie, there is a possibility that the photo may not be so. The constraints that the new end result of the photo can be seen after the film washing process is done, as well as other obstacles such as incorrect lighting while taking the picture or the film wash errors themselves show that the process of shooting at the time of photography technology is still familiar with the film as image storage media is not yet optimal. With the advent of the latest technology, that is digital technology, it all becomes easier. The end result of the live photo can be seen shortly after the shooting is done. The development of digital cameras where every digital camera device has advanced features also makes it easier for people to take photos. When the movie age one must be well aware of the lighting technique or otherwise known as exposure to photography to produce a good image in terms of having sufficient lighting, in this digital age by simply rotating the auto mode contained on all types of digital camera devices, an image with sufficient lighting can be obtained easily. It's so easy that everyone can create a picture with sufficient lighting without having to be fully aware of lighting techniques.
Along with the camera, appears is a new artist who is usually referred to as photographers or photographers. Not everyone can be said photographer. When everyone who takes a picture using a sophisticated digital camera media can be said to be a photographer, perhaps everyone who lives in this world can be called a photographer. A person may be called a photographer if he has a good knowledge of lighting, as well as other photographic techniques, and works as a photographer in the sense of having a livelihood as a photographer. Perhaps also someone can be said as a photographer if he is able to create a work of photographs that have artistic flavors that are recognized by others, especially by photographers, as well as audience and photo observers. But a person's predicate can be called a good photographer or reliable, it is not enough just to know and understand well lighting techniques and other photography techniques.I personally prefer to see a photographer as a reliable photographer if he is able to create a photo work that has meaning. A photo has a meaning when the image is able to create emotions and influence the people who see it to be moved to do something based on what is conveyed by the photographer through the work of his photograph. "The talking picture!" A meaningful work of photography can bring us into it, so as to share what is shown in the photograph. A work of meaningful photographs can make our neck hair stand up instantly especially when we finally understand what the photographer wants to show in his photograph. A photo work that has a strong meaning can sometimes even make us smile, laugh, surprise, aghast, fear, disgust, even cry. So powerful a work of photography can sometimes even change the way a person views and mindset, and move a person and even a group of people do something in accordance with what is shown by the work of the photo
