Some people are thinking about how photographic practice needs to adapt and change for the future.

Jonathan Worth has posted this thought-provoking "proposal" on his blog:

And Matt Johnston wonders if photography could learn lessons from the music industry on his:

Then today, @IHphoto asks of Matt: How wd this work for editorial photographers? As in most things internet related these new ideas are backhanded transactions. (Although I will concede that advertising pays for the other stuff on the pages of periodicals.)

Hi IHPhoto, first of all i would like to point out that these things are not solutions merely ideas. I was suggesting ideas primarily relating to print sales and raising funds for personal projects. How could this work for editorial photographers? Through the sale of prints/selections of prints at different price tiers after they have been published, or by allowing an audience to fund projects that can then be associated with them or their company. For more on how editorial photographers could benefit for working for free please see Jonathan Worth's post above or at http://jonathan-worth.blogspot.com/
Cheers

Matt
