PHOTOGRAPHY TRENDS FOR 2024
January 2024
|Asian Photography
With 2023 behind us, it’s time to focus on 2024! With the new year off to a start, what are biggest trends in photography that we will get to see in 2024. If you’ve been a reader of the magazine over the years then you would know that every year in our January Anniversary issue, we feature the latest trends and predictions for the year. And more often than not they, we are bang on with them. Don’t believe us? Then have a look at some of our previous articles from 2023, 2022, 2020.
So what are the biggest trends in technology, products, features that you will get to see in the coming year? These are my predictions:
DOMINANCE OF AI IN PHOTOGRAPHY
The biggest trend in 2024 is going to be the increased dominance of AI and its computational photography. If you remember my article last year as well, I had mentioned the increase in the use of AI tools to execute photography. But in the year 2024, this will come into its own with the increased use of AI tools by the photographers in everyday processes. And this spurt will be helped by mainline software giants like Adobe, etc. introducing AI features to their softwares that allow users to access AI to enhance/change their pictures. The everyday use of software like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-E have also increased phenomenally in the past year.
But what's interesting is that the increase in the use of AI wont only be in the form of apps and software. More smart devices, cameras, chips etc. have started using advanced AI algorithms to deliver better results, pictures, making the life of a photographer easier than before. So 2024 is going to be all about Al, its tools and computational photography. And get ready because this year will be the sea change in terms of the future of photography.

EACH DIVE A BATTLE, EACH ASCENT A QUIET VICTORY:
When Mark Smith speaks about birds, he doesn’t talk like a photographer chasing the perfect frame. He speaks like a witness—someone who has spent years observing, listening and quietly learning from the natural world. Winning the HIPA Award this year may have brought his work global recognition, but for Smith, the moment still feels unreal. Bhavya Desai spoke to him about his love for birds and more. Excerpts:

BEST CAMERAS OF 2025
Competition doesn't sleep, and 2025 was no exception for the quote. The imaging industry went through a makeover of sorts, as we saw a shift of priority from companies, which led to them making cameras which were more hybrid in nature. This year we saw the Nikon-RED merger further fruitioning into a compact, competitive cinema camera and Canon releasing one in a similar form factor but with different capabilities and priority. In this round up, we list the cameras that brought something new to the table. Just like last year, we aren't including lenses, drones or action cameras or cinema cameras even though they've got so much in common with their mirrorless cousins.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Review
It's time to dig out the Canon-Nikon rivalry from the DSLR era! Last year when we reviewed Nikon's Z6 III, we concluded that it's a solid buy with no real competition in the space. Well, that has certainly changed with the launch of the new Canon EOS R6 III. Priced at *₹2.44L puts it above its entry-level sibling - the R8 and below the flagship R5, R3 & R1 bodies. It also squarely sits in the same price bracket as the Nikon Z6 III which is interesting for the competition!
