Uber-Style Photo App Snappr Lets You Book Photographers in Real-Time



I remember saying a while back how I felt that photography has been devalued in today's times. Mobile phones have opened the door for everyone to take a high resolution image, the craft and appreciation of the actual process has diminished as a result IMO.

This service compounds what I was alluding to to another level looking at the premise of how it works. Depending on how popular this gets, along with the packages they provide, some people's pricing might be impacted.

Spot on with photography being devalued. Was just thinking about how there is no learning process now on how to create great photos. The new phone tech has completely taken that away. Props to @8WON6 for still staying in the portrait game, I have backed out of it completely unless its company related with a payment attached. I'm back to paid product, drone, and cityscapes imagery.

It's tough. It's so saturated and people want a whole branding campaign (pictures, commercials, logos,)...all kinds of shyt for like $20. Especially being black, people will try and negotiate down our already low prices, then go pay some white photographer a grip with no hesitation and no problems. There's so much i want to say about this stuff on my social medias but i just try to shut up.

Curious with Amazon's Prime Days coming up what kinda insane deals they will have on gear. I'm still in shock and disbelief that I missed last years huge messup, Canon's 800mm L $13K lens for $94

I'm doing some BTS video with my A7iii.

Any recommendations on an external mic?

I’ve been using this with my A7III and it’s worked just fine.

Noob here but more interested in the street photography aspect , bought a fujifilm x100v and actually been enjoying using it with the classic negative setting and underexposing the light.

Praying to the algorithm Gods that Amazon does this again

Bezos could afford the loss

I just copped this one myself. I just started messing around with video and the a7ii is not cutting it, but I’m gonna rock with it for a while.

If anybody catches wind on a crackhead sale for expensive ass gear tag me, I'm tired of missing out on these shyt annually

Far as I can tell they did, I think Amazon fixed the price error before the landslide of orders came in for those products.
