CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES OF ANALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY: A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE PRESENT IN THE ERA OF DIGITAL IMAGES

Abstract

In the era of digital photography and social networks, it’s possible to observe a movement to bring back the creative concept that analogue photography used to and still can provide. From the 1990s, after its creation, the international community Lomography started to represent this experimentation very well and photography rescue as an artistic element. The various manipulations and effects, these analogue cameras allow, bring a round of creative possibilities that photography, prior to the methods of digital manipulation, can provide. This return to the past also ended up creating a trend in digital photography. The social network Instagram, which gives the user the ability to use filters and elements of analogue photography to digital imaging, is an example of the dialogue between past and present. This article intends to investigate these new creative possibilities and their involvement with photography in the age of digital images.
