The rise of social photography is not limited to smartphones, but is increasingly driving interest in learning the technical aspects of photography and sales of DSLR cameras.
Narendra Menon, Regional Head of Sales and Marketing of Nikon Middle East and Africa said Nikon will be offering photography demonstrations at this year’s GITEX Shopper: “The rise of social media and smartphone photography is not a coincidence. Most photos shared on social media are moments. This does not mean that only smartphones can capture moments; DSLR cameras, especially those equipped with features such as in-built Wi-Fi, capture better quality pictures that one can share online instantly. Moments are much like new smartphones, they stay with you for a while, but their importance fades with time as they are replaced with new ones. Compare this with DSLR cameras’ photos that have a timeless quality about them, being guarded as valuable possessions along with the priceless memories they helped capture.”
