Welcome to In the Flash, a weekly, behind-the-lens dialogue on photography. To join the conversation
Remote photography is one of the most powerful processes available today, but only a few photographers are using it, and few editors request it. It had a boom during the pandemic but almost died out when the world opened up again. When AI came along, remote photography, which seemed for a brief moment to be a harbinger of the future, got relegated to the Covid past and was all but forgotten. My guess is that not enough people were practicing it, and the possibilities of the process remained a mystery. Which is a pity, because I still think that remote photography is the way of the future.
