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.

A little way back, Canva bought Affinity. People worried. More recently, Affinity teased a big announcement. People really worried. But, as we talk a week following that announcement, Affinity is free forever and has added a million users.

And the Affinity apps are all updated and merged into a new Studio.

So this week we talk about the merger of companies, of products, of hardware and software. Mergers we like, mergers that failed, mergers we would like to see in the future of photography!

What do you think about all this?
