Photographer website platform PhotoShelter created a new event called Luminance to ask the question of how photography is changing and how society is responding to that change in New York on 12-13 September – They are realising each speakers video over the next few months – first up is David Burnett founder of Contact Press Images
They say: “New York-based photojournalist David Burnett almost needs no introduction. He’s been shooting film for over 50 years, and despite the widespread movement to digital, he continues lugging around his 4×5 camera worldwide to events like the Olympics. “It’s tough to be a film photographer in the digital age,” says David Burnett. “But it’s the look of film that’s stayed with me – there’s something almost nostalgic about it.”
