The Sir John Photography team is in Argentina and capturing a fantastic Argentina win in the 2022 world cup and becoming the world champions. We travel the world to capture those special moments in time that you want to be proud of hanging on your wall. The spirit of football and tango are some of what makes Argentina so very special. The people are friendly and very passionate about both, and it is a very emotional time here as you can imagine. People are celebrating in the streets by the millions. There are no riots or destruction of any property, and all are safe to roam the city and make some noise of course. While we see many enjoying some drinks as they walk around, we do not see any overly intoxicated groups, but people having fun and a major festival for sure is underway and this should last many days. Some stores are closed as their employees are out celebrating with others, and some are concerned about being overrun by locals trying to buy items, especially alcoholic drinks. Additionally, the local subway is shut down as it would quickly be overloaded and not safe. However, no one seems to mind as there are many streets to walk and sing with others to celebrate such a major victory. It will take some time to process and sort the photos from this trip and hope you sign up for the free newsletter on the Sir John online fine art photography site www.sirjohnphoto.com This place is amazing and we will return as often as we can. In a few days, we are heading to Montevideo Uruguay to prepare for the carnival there next month, which is the oldest in the world.

Using the new features in the Samsung s22 ultra cell phone

I love my cameras, all of them, and the camera in the cell phone is amazing and easy to carry with me everywhere. What is fun experimenting with recently is the style modes. They are really a hoot and makes life fun, but maybe even profitable as it has inspired me to creat some for the sir john online fine art gallery. I will be using the setting on the phone, but also lightroom and photoshop to complete the work. Apps to increase the deep saturation help tremendiously as well. If you want to see the growth of this new style for me, follow me on the gallery by subscribing to the newsletter and subscribing to the blog there as well. The site is located at www.sirjohnphoto.com

What are the latest trends in photography as we head into 2022?

One thing about photography is that it is always changing, with the technology getting better and better. And this not only for the high-end cameras, but also includes cell phones, glasses and go pros, etc.

Add to this the ever-changing ability to edit photos easily, and efficiently and you can see just how much of an explosion there is in the pure raw number of images being produced. With that said, how can the professional stand out and make money? The professional will always be there for one big reason, he is always learning and perfecting his craft. With the quality improving daily, the general public is demanding higher quality, better storytelling, and technology in delivering such.

The big wildcard I think will be in production for the metaverse as it evolves in 2022. The guys who can produce images, graphs and videos that meet the demand that is coming will do very well and build a name for themselves.

Another big trend will be in the development of applications that allow semipro to amateurs to enhance their photos. Photographers who master this trend will do very well in 2020.
