The recording of the presentation from Richard Lewis titled "What is Photography?" given to the Focus Camera Club on October 9, 2024.

💬 Program Description
Since photography transitioned from film to digital, the door to continue the creative process after the shutter is clicked was opened. Post processing has caused more arguments, discussion and rules in photography since color film overtook black and white film. So what has changed since digital photography? Are photographs really different?

You might be surprised by the answer during this entertaining and informative discussion of exactly what is photography and what you need to know to create great photographs no matter what kind of camera you use.
