THE FUTURE OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography and image-making technology is reaching out in many new directions at once and at speed. Digital cameras no longer just provide easier ways to make traditional photos. Chris and Ade investigate emerging and future tech that will help us all make new and exciting photographs and images. Cameras, devices, software, hardware - we aim to cover all angles in the pursuit of The Future of Photography.

There are a bunch of new opportunities to distribute photos emerging. Well, maybe they have been there before but new ways of working with images and software are bringing them into view. For a few years now, Adrian has shared work on a paid Squarespace website. But here is a free option on GitHub that can be whatever you want it to be! What other options exist out there for us to publish our work?

August 2, 2026 is when the EU AI Act transparency obligations kick in. The C2PA standard is spreading fast across camera bodies and some software. This week sees the launch of two major product upgrades for photographers: Adobe Firefly AI Assistant and Nik Collection 9. One of these ships with the ability to sign exports, the other does not.

So we have new types and increasing numbers of assistants in our workflows and new attempts to help us authenticate our work. How will it all work? Will it work at all? What difference does it make anyway?

Occasionally it's fun to "react" to some click bait. We wouldn't want to do that all the time of course - we respect you all far too much for that! But this little piece from fstoppers caught our eye and yielded some thoughtful discussion.
