Online Photography Sharing

The unfathomable size of online photo sharing is aptly demonstrated in this photo showing an iceberg, the lower half visible through the water, created from hundreds of individual portraits. This image represents the billions of online photos of which anyone can only ever see only the tip of the iceberg. This makes a great visual for referring to issues dealing with archiving, storage and retrieval and database management of visual assets. The image, created with both advertising and editorial needs in mind, can be easily cropped to work as a vertical, horizontal or square image with ample copy space no matter the chosen format. The stormy sky indicates the massive change taking place in both the world of imaging and photography and the world on online sharing. Even the idea that icebergs are a threat, risk and danger fit in nicely with the symbolic needs of dealing with the oversupply of imagery in today's Internet world.

Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat And Photography

With the emergence of Instagram, facebook, Snapchat and other photography sharing sites, the need for visuals to illustrate problems and challenges within the industry is growing at almost the pace of the companies themselves. How do you indicate the massive scale of dealing with billions of photos? One answer is by using an iceberg created from photos. In our collection we also have image tornados, Tsunami waves of photos, and images that combine, edge-to-edge hundreds of individual model-released portraits.

iPhonography, Snapshots And DLSRs

The explosion of imagery is in large part do to the flood of image capture options from iPhones to DLSRs and the advent of photo sharing sites ranging from flickr and Smugmug to Google+ and Instagram. It seems there are either no professional photographers left, or everyone is now a professional photographer! Creativity is blossoming like never before, and most images have a lifespan measured in minutes if not seconds. HDR, HD video, and filter effects are the lexicon of the new generation of photo enthusiasts. In a world in which below the surface lurks more photos than anyone could ever hope to view in ten lifetimes what is a better symbol and a photographic iceberg?
