The Future of Photography

Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat! All the making! Making friends, making prints, making photos, making whoopee, making book. This week we talk - and had to stop ourselves on time rather than topics 😀 - about making photo books. Zines, fine art, journals... It turns out Adrian even knows the difference between a monograph and a retrospective, well, at least after thinking it through.

Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat! For a while now - actually quite a long while - we have been publishing our shows as video on YouTube. Recently, we have added Shorts to our channel as little samples of good the whole thing really is 😀. that could mean a whole lot of editing and publishing work for the team except that - because Chris is a genius (note from Chris: the robots deserve all the credit, I basically just yelled "enhance!") - it's all automated thorugh vibe coding with AIs. Tune in to hear Chris explain how he works this magic!

So Jeremiah and Chris have done some digging into UV printing to see how real the recent biggest ever kickstarter might be. And along the way, we smile fondly at the memory of some products that never quite made it - looking at you Light 16!

Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat! Every so often we like to ask the question “can we capture still photos from video?” For sure the arts of photography and filming require different camera settings to get desired effects - but what if you just shot video without an ND and let the shutter speed ramp up until you lose the motion blur? Or perhaps go the other way and optimise for video at capture and then process as still images? We have a whole host of AI tools now to help us. Upscaling, creative adding of detail, plain old “fix my image please AI” tools, the list is ever growing.

Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat! Jeremiah and Chris chart a rapid timeline: from 19th-century product photos to the large-format, chrome-gloss ads of the 1960-80s; through the 1990s digital pivot, when Photoshop and backs replaced film; to today’s virtual sets where most product images are CGI — see Zalando, IKEA, and modern car campaigns. Despite AI and renders, authentic photos still outperform for trust. Technology changes the tools, not the vision—story-driven, light-savvy photographers remain essential, so keep shooting and experimenting.

Show Notes – The Future of Photography Show Notes – The Future of Photography Show Notes – The Future of Photography This week, Chris and Adrian talk about the rise of digital cameras that simulate the analog experience. From film advance levers and stripped-down interfaces to the absence of screens and menus, more photographers are embracing limitations to rediscover creative freedom. They discuss cameras like the Fujifilm X Half, the Yashica FX-D, and the Pixii Camera, and how these devices cater to a growing desire for intentionality in the digital age. Along the way, they reference earlier pioneers like the Epson R-D1 and the screenless Leica M-D, and reflect on whether JPEGs are becoming the new “film” in a post-editing world.
