To be honest, I\u2019m not huge on pop culture. So when I heard that Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, was recently awarded an honorary membership into The Royal Photographic Society, I didn\u2019t really think much of it. Doing some research on it, there are quite a few opinions on her, her work and her new membership into the society that I think are relevant to talk about in regards to the photo industry as a whole.<\/p>\n
Kate Middleton, if you\u2019re not aware, was the first in the royal family to break tradition by having the first publically released photograph of her new baby girl, Princess Charlotte, not be a professional one. Traditionally, the royal family releases a professionally photographed image to the press as a sort of announcement for the newest member of the family. Kate, a lover of photography and a mom, naturally grew into the momtographer stereotype. Now, before you attach a negative connotation to that word and think she received this honor because of who she is, let\u2019s take a step back.<\/p>\n
