The sustainability of the photography industry is complex and varies depending on several factors, from the production of equipment to the practices of photographers themselves. There is also the question of the elements that make up the photo shoot-with regards to production, styling, hair & make-up, catering, etc. Waste is a factor-to minimise waste. Here’s an overview of key aspects affecting its sustainability:
1. Equipment Manufacturing and Disposal
The future of photography is likely to be shaped by advancements in technology, shifts in social and artistic trends, and the ways people interact with and consume media. Here are a few key trends and possibilities:
1. AI and Computational Photography
• Enhanced Editing and Creation: AI-based tools can already enhance photos by adjusting lighting, color, or removing unwanted objects. Already we see AI that can generate entire realistic images from scratch, even mimicking specific photographic styles.
By adding more speed, accuracy and a bunch of new features, Canon has made the EOS R5 Mark II feel more like a new camera series rather than a mere upgrade. A second processor handles the extra burst speed, a stacked sensor minimizes rolling shutter distortions, and the new People Priority and Action Priority modes make it hard to miss a shot. While its buffer memory can struggle a little in some real-world scenarios and Eye Control AF is still hit and miss, the EOS R5 Mark II is arguably Canon's best pro camera yet.
