| Digital photography After nearly two centuries of photography, digital imaging arrived on the scene and threatened to banish film, the darkroom and all the hard-won skills of picture making. Along with digital cameras came scanners, imaging software and the World Wide Web, all fuelling increasing apprehension in the world of conventional photography.

But as time has passed, it has been shown that digital technology has breathed new life into many photographic practices and opened up the world of picture-making to more people than ever before.
