We all take pictures with our phones, and often. This creates an incredible amount of photos, both good ones and really bad ones. And the fact that everyone has the opportunity to take pictures is said to be killing classic photographs and their concept. This is what Wim Wenders, a world-famous director, claims. His film Buena Vista Social Club was even nominated for an Oscar in 2000.carand in the category of best foreign film. In his own words, photography is “deader than ever.”

He stated this in a recent interview with the BBC, which he gave on the occasion of an exhibition of his Polaroid photographs. “The problem with iPhone photos is that no one sees them. Even those who take pictures of them don't look at them afterwards and certainly don't print them" Wenders continued, and it must be noted that he is right. Each of us has hundreds, sometimes even thousands of photos on our phones.onech, but we rarely look at them. Most of them are there simply to capture a certain memory. But albums with physical photos? Those are almost nonexistent in our libraries anymore.

Může nám to připadat, že Wenders je ze staré školy a prostě nechápe, že trend se posunul k digitálním fotografiím, ale tak to rozhodně není. Focení na analogové fotoaparáty bez displeje, kdy jste výsledek viděli až při vyvolání filmu, měly své kouzlo. Bylo to opravdu umění, zachytit ten správný okamžik k vyfocení krásné fotky. Dnes to je opravdu snadné, když jich během vteřiny vyfotí náš iPhone several, we see everything on the screen and can choose the best one. And the 60 million photos uploaded to Instagram every day are proof of that.

iPhone Although X takes beautiful photos, according to Wenders, the magic of photography is disappearing.

Another problem Wenders sees in various applications with filters. According to him, these hinder the creativity and creativity of the photographer: "I know from my own experience that the fewer tools you have, the more you have to become creative." He himself admits that he also uses his phone to take pictures, but he does not like that this activity called photography: "A new word needs to be found for that which is very much like photography but is not photography."
