This week we delve into the world of fads in photography past, present, and future. If you’ve got any to add to our list, let us know! From the early Victorian penchant for post mortem photography, the Cottingley Fairies and hidden mother photography to the more current bread cat (yes, it’s true -google it) just what fads are likely as we go forward into the future of photography? More current examples where photography plays a role and which might be more meme than fad: cat beard, horsemanning, glitterbeards or teapotting. PICKS OF THE WEEK: Insta360 ONE R (Chris), Eimear's photo. What photo fads will the future bring? Let us know on Twitter.

It’s time for a TFOP workflow update! In Ade's ever-changing work-in-progress photo workflow, what's new? Plenty actually - including a JPEG-based process - also plenty of constructive challenge from the team ;-) Fave tools: Apple SD card dongle, iOS 13 Files app, Apple pencil, Snapseed - non-destructive editing with layers and masks and selective tools, Darkroom - great for HSL adjustments. Picks of the week: Gnarbox, DruePhoto, Nollaig na mBan. [n3ar87oGiv4c9hwiwmj61lwb4qckvevivyefz3i]
