Is it time to add photography as a required competency in schools?
We’re a visual society. We skim more than we read. And we love to look at pictures. A lot.
Take a gander at just about any marketing case study these days, and you’ll see smart marketers are using photos to drive traffic with Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr, Picsa, 500px, DailyBooth, TwitPic and Tumblr.
And that’s not even mentioning the insane numbers YouTube and Vimeo put up every day. Maybe we should be talking about adding video production/editing to the required curriculum?
The old world looked down at folks who could write or spell. And while that won’t change anytime soon, I believe the day is quickly approaching where we will snub job candidates who cannot light, compose, capture, retouch, edit and share.
