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.

Chris and Jeremiah hold the fort while Adrian is still away, and things get only mildly apocalyptic: a surprise Google Earth feature briefly let people generate fake satellite imagery, prompting a lively chat about whether photography’s last “trust me, I was there” refuge has now joined the AI slop era. Along the way they poke at truth, metadata, satellites, politics, and why maybe the unexamined photo is the one truly in trouble—before lightening the mood with a slick Obsbot camera and a camera battery that secretly doubles as an AirTag, because apparently even batteries now have a plot.

Jeremiah joins Chris while Adrian is away, and the conversation starts with the 2026 State of the Photography Industry report. They dig into how photographers are actually using AI right now: less as a replacement for creative vision, and more as a partner for administration, organization, writing, and workflow. From commercial pressure and tightening budgets to the enduring value of real photographic experience, they explore where AI fits, where it threatens, and where human intent still matters most. Chris also shares how AI is helping shape and manage his upcoming book, Abenteuer Fotografie, while both hosts swap stories about using AI to tame massive photo libraries and messy Lightroom catalogs.
