It's an exciting time to work in photo and video production. Innovations in camera technology are accelerating, and professional-grade equipment is becoming increasingly more affordable. One recent innovation has the potential to redefine media production altogether: cameras will soon be capable of simultaneously capturing still photography and motion video, with no discrepancy in quality. Using the theoretical framework of convergence culture and exponential organizations, this research asks: will the traditionally separate roles of photographer and videographer become one? This study will explore the historical, technological, and future implications of photo and video convergence using examples from sports media.
