Nowadays shots are created in post-production, on computers.

Summary

This quote highlights the shift in photography practices due to digital advancements. With the rise of post-production editing and computer-generated imagery, the traditional process of capturing photos has evolved significantly. The quote suggests that these modern techniques have moved away from the authentic essence of photography as it is no longer solely reliant on capturing images in-camera but rather involves extensive manipulation after the shot is taken. The implication is that this departure from traditional photography may blur the line between photography and digital art.
