5 Places We Might Start to See 3D Photography

With 3D tv now available to mainstream consumers, more photographers may start considering adding the extra dimension. While it may take a while for photographers to start shooting family portraits in 3D, there are other areas in the industry that may be eager to adopt this technology as it becomes available.

Advertising
For the most part, billboards have lost any wow-factor they have have once inspired with their size. Even with electronic billboards, most consumers can easily ignore them. If products were advertised in 3D, there's a good chance that consumers would pay more attention to the ads. Certain products would lend themselves to this approach more than others, but a creative team could most likely promote any product more easily with it popping off the screen.

Food
I've got to admit that I'm already an easy target for food photography to influence. The first thing I look at when I get to a restaurant is the pictures on the menu. I would think that a cheesecake coming off a menu would be almost irresistible. Seriously, I wouldn't pass it up.

Crime Scene
When looking back at the scene of a crime using a photo, imagine how much easier it would be to put yourself back into the environment when your eyes weren't looking at a flat image. Flat images make it much harder to interpret distance and other details we pick up normally with our eyes.

Art Gallery
I could definitely see an art gallery having a section dedicated to 3D photo art. Maybe even some of the older art pieces could be recreated as 3D art. I'd be more impressed with that kind of recreation than I am with some of the "digitally remastered" stuff that's been coming out recently. Maybe something new like this would be what art museums need to see some new life in their doors.

Fashion
Fashion shots may have some difficulty going 3D because a single image is so carefully planned that capturing an extra shot that's required to make it appear to have dimension may bring out features that the photographer is trying to hide. Also, the image editing would become more difficult. Even with the apparent barriers, there's a good chance that people would rather see models and clothing in augmented reality.
