What does it mean to be a photographer in today's rapidly evolving society? In this panel, Rochester photographers working widely across the field will share their experiences in the industry regionally—the work they create, the challenges they face, and the future they envision for themselves and for photography in general. From barriers to entry and the realities of the industry, to the impact of AI, surveillance, and late-stage capitalism, the conversation will explore both the threats to photography and the possibilities that not only keep it alive but also build community and reflect the times.
