Facebook, Instagram and Flickr are posing a serious challenge to professional photographers and changing the way architects work, says architectural photographer Cristobal Palma (+ interview + movie).
"Everyone is becoming an expert in image-making, which makes things more challenging but at the same time exciting for photographers," said Palma, in an interview with Dezeen to coincide with the release of a compilation of his architectural movies.
Born in the UK in 1974 but based in Chile, Palma is one of the leading architectural photographers in South America, and one of the first to make the switch from film to digital, and to experiment with moving images.
"I started doing little shorts the minute I went digital with the Canon 5D in 2010 and almost by surprise realised that the camera had a video option," said Palma.
