I attended a lecture tonight by Hugh Gentry at Pacific New Media and was reminded again of how rapidly the fields of photography (in this case photojournalism & commercial) are changing. Powerful SLRs, camera equipment with video capture, the Internet, iPhones have all change how we approach image making and image viewing. Overall, I enjoyed Hugh Gentry's talk and I was especially interested in hearing about his underwater work shooting the Ironman. It was fun to step away from the modern fine art world and walk into the fast-paced action of photojournalism and diverse assignment and travel shooting.
Quick bio pulled from Pacific New Media website:
