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.

This week, Chris shared a report on a company outputting 3,000 podcasts a week with no human in the loop at all apart from sample-based QA. So we ask what is the acceptable use policy for AI at each stage of a photo/video production?

We often think of photo editing as that bit we do on computers - or phones or in the darkroom - at a point in time after we capture a photo. But actually the whole process of making photographic images includes editing. From what camera we pick up, what we choose to look for and how we compose, right through to printing, publishing and sharing, there are editing decisions everywhere.

So, inspired by this fstoppers article, it's time to talk about all the edits.

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?
