Today we conclude our talk about the journalistic investigation on the website of “Chaydati” magazine, which deals with the stories of 4 professional Arab women photographers, photography, society and the best technological developments related to photography work.
From photographer Natalie Moghadam’s point of view, photography is a profession with great popularity and wide distribution, and an art that requires skill, precision and love of detail from those who work in it. The Lebanese photographer and owner of Too Cute to Shoot Studio says that the photographer captures feelings, beauty, difference, intelligence, diversity and happy, poignant, shocking and sad moments with the camera, whether the images are people, places, or pre-made scenes.
As for the role of the professional photographer with the massive diffusion of technology and its techniques, the photographer commits to “Saidatti”, the rapid technological development, cell phones equipped with cameras in the hands of the majority of people and the large number of amateurs in the field, the challenges faced by professional photographers, but their advantages cannot be ignored without taste. An inner sense of beauty, creative abilities and ideas, attention to detail and skill in using the computer and its programs.
Natalie highlights the role of technology in changing so many things in the industry, but this does not eliminate the need for a professional photographer who must keep up with these developments. Natalie sees a big difference between a professional and a non-professional photographer. The former has an eye and taste, takes the necessary photographs according to their conditions, details and information, ideal angle, details of exterior lighting, etc.
Especially regarding the overuse of “filters” in personal photos, he feels that “filters” do not reveal the reality of faces, and professional photographers avoid it as they control the details of photo sessions in and out of their studio. In their eyes to determine aesthetic quality.
