Photography used to be unique, cherished and valuable. The only photography used to be on actual photographs in photo albums, kept for the memories and the recollections as well as the artwork itself.

Although instagram does allow anyone be a photographer using the effects on the application, it damages attitudes towards photographs as it just creates ‘lazy photography.’
Most social media especially instagram is greatly affecting the use of printing as you don’t have to print your photos to allow people to see it.
