From Darkrooms to Smartphones: Photography's Transformation

From Darkrooms to Smartphones: Photography's Transformation

Imagine photography used to be like a magic trick you had to learn: you needed special cameras, expensive film, and a dark room.

You'd wait a long time to see your pictures.

Now, anyone with a phone can take photos instantly!

While this makes it easier to share pictures, some people who used to be photographers feel that the skill and artistry is disappearing.

Technology is also changing the rules: there is now Artificial intelligence (AI) that can fix photos automatically, and even make new ones.

Although digital is very popular, some people still love using the old ways, where you had to wait for your pictures to come out, making sure every shot counts.
