—Digital imaging has unleash creativity from photographers. I do not see it change when I see how people love pictures so much and love creative pictures.

They less and less call upon professional photographers but rely on enthusiasts "instagrammers" to remain active on social networks and use phone pictures and vintage look to keep "in".
