Unlike the time when social media started, I believe this presents an opportunity for photographers today. Creating a new community on a different platform will take time and effort.

Photojournalist Angus Mordant, whose images have been published in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, said he feared the merger would “create a monopoly that only stands to hurt photographers.” Mordant, who has not shot on assignment for Getty Images, echoed the criticism that the company has paid notoriously low rates over the years.

In the eighties, the photographer Kathy Shorr became a chauffeur, capturing working-class New Yorkers on their way to new lives.

Shorr shot in black-and-white, with a Nikon, often leaning through the partition that divided the driver from the driven during stops, so that the back of the car became a de-facto photo booth. From the moment that she announced her creative intentions to her subjects, she told me, “the whole dynamic of control and power in the car changed.”

While the new law will still require permits for large-scale commercial productions within National Parks and associated public lands, smaller groups of photographers and videographers will now be able to film without going through the arduous process of acquiring permits, provided that they follow park regulations, operate safely, and do not force the federal government to incur undue costs.
