The Future of Photography355 Making BookWatch 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.

Hopium - a hybrid of hope and opium. We all sometimes want stuff to happen, or be true, or to be as good as it seems. 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!

The Future of Photography349 Commercial Ad PhotographyWatch 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.

There has been a lot of hype recently about a new Canon Camera. Is it genuinely innovative? Does it move dials or change games or shift paradigms? Will it help anyone? Time to dive in. Adrian is unreasonably excited, Jeremiah considerably less so - he wants to destroy a bunch of them. Maybe Chris can help us find a balanced view!

Chris and Jeremiah dive into DALL-E, a new neural net that creates art based on text prompts.
