Abstract

The present research on the life cycle assessment of professional digital photography is on the basis of ISO 14040:2006 documents and consists of two main parts including the equipment and the utility behavior. The professional digital photography equipment analyzed within this research is set into three groups: recording, processing, and output. The behavioral patterns regarding the way of equipment utilization have been studied according to the information extracted from the questionnaires filled by the samples selected among the graduates who have received the BA degree in photography from Tehran University of Art during the last 5 years, from 2016 to 2020. The gathered data are analyzed and the output are arranged on the basis of the environmental priorities in order to arrive eventually at some suggestions concerning with the selection of the best eco-friendly equipment and the most sustainable behavioral patterns of professional digital photography.
