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.

MINIATURE MARVELS
Drawn to the hidden dramas of the insect world, Sandip Guha uncovers nature's quietest stories through patience, precision, and reverence. Since picking up a macro lens, he has captured moments as fleeting as damselfly mating rituals and as rare as spider courtship. His work goes beyond beauty, documenting behaviour, ecology, and the fragile poetry of life in miniature. Asian Photography spoke to him about inspiration, hardships, mistakes, bucket shot and more.

How Close Should You Get to a Subject? Ethics in Macro
Macro photography is all about getting close — closer than the eye can see. It invites us into intimate worlds: The spiralled symmetry of a snail's shell, the fine hairs on a bee's leg, the dew resting on a spider's web. But as we close in, a question looms that goes beyond technique or gear: How close should we get?

OnePlus Nord 5 Camera Review - New Midrange King?
Last year, when we reviewed the OnePlus Nord 4, it left us wanting more. This year, the Nord 5 arrives with bold promises - it's the first Nord to feature a Snapdragon 8-series chipset and the first mainstream OnePlus device with a 144Hz OLED display. But what we're really here for is the camera - especially since it borrows tech from the flagship OnePlus 13. While pricing hasn't been officially confirmed (we received both the Nord 5 and CE5 under embargo), we expect it to stay close to last year's launch price - between ₹30,000-₹35,000. According to OnePlus, this is their most complete Nord yet. So, do the cameras live up to that claim? Let's find out!

DECAY DIARIES: DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY OF ROT, RUST, AND RUIN THROUGH MACRO
Decay is usually seen as a sign of failure, of neglect, corrosion, and abandonment. It marks the places we leave behind and the things we no longer touch. But for those who carry a macro lens, decay is not the end of something, but the beginning of a fascinating visual story. Up close, rot becomes a rich texture, rust becomes a complex pattern, and ruin becomes poetry. Welcome to the world of Decay Diaries, where beauty isn’t found in perfection, but in what is slowly falling apart.

Apple's iOS 26 Brings Changes to Imaging Experience, Camera APP and Photos
Apple's new design overhaul brings an update to the Camera app in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, making everyday photography feel more immersive and intuitive. The redesigned UI prioritizes easy reach for core controls while minimizing distractions. Buttons, sliders, and toggles now live within a refined control layer that adapts as you frame shots or switch modes. In the app, navigation and tools morph fluidly to stay out of the way until you need them, keeping the focus squarely on capturing the moment. New gestures streamline access to pro tools, and the layout now curves with the edges of modern displays for a more cohesive, hardware-conscious experience.

WHERE DOES MACRO END AND MICRO BEGIN?
Macro photography opens the door to a world we rarely notice-a place where the texture of a leaf becomes a jungle, the surface of a coin a lunar landscape. But how close is too close? At what point does macro stop being macro and enter the realm of micro photography? The line between the two isn't just a matter of semantics. It's about tools, technique, and intent. In this article, we'll draw that line.
