In just a few short years, photography has undergone a massive transformation ? and the trend looks set to continue in 2022. Here are just a few of the exciting developments we can expect to see in the world of photography in the next 12 months.
1. Virtual reality
With the release of affordable VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, virtual reality is finally starting to enter the mainstream. And it looks set to have a big impact on photography in 2022.
We can expect to see more photographers using VR to create immersive, 360-degree images and videos. And with the rise of social media platforms like Facebook 360 and YouTube 360, there will be a growing demand for this type of content.
2. Drones
Drones have already revolutionised the world of photography, and they’re only going to become more popular in 2022. As prices continue to fall and the technology becomes more accessible, we can expect to see more people using drones to capture images and video from perspectives that were previously impossible.
3. AI-assisted editing
Artificial intelligence is already beginning to change the way we edit photos. Programs like Adobe Sensei and Skylum Luminar are using AI to automatically enhance images, and this trend is only going to continue in 2022.
We can expect to see more AI-assisted editing tools that can automatically improve exposure, color, and composition. This will make it easier than ever for anyone to create stunning photos, regardless of their experience level.
4. 8K video
While 4K video has only just become mainstream, 8K is already on the horizon. And it looks set to change the landscape of photography and video in 2022.
8K video has four times the resolution of 4K, which means It’s incredibly sharp and realistic. This will open up new possibilities for photographers and videographers, who will be able to create even more immersive and detailed content.
5. Foldable phones
Foldable phones are set to be one of the biggest tech trends of 2022, and they’re going to have a big impact on photography.
These devices will allow photographers to easily carry a large sensor camera around with them, as well as giving them the ability to take photos and videos with a much larger screen. This will be a game-changer for those who want to take high-quality photos and videos on the go.
6. 5G
5G is the next generation of mobile data, and It’s set to revolutionise the world of photography. With speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G, 5G will enable photographers to transfer files quickly and easily, without worrying about data limits.
5G will also make it possible to stream live video from drones and other cameras, without any lag or buffering. This will open up new possibilities for photo and video content, and we can expect to see some truly innovative applications of this technology in the next 12 months.
