The future of photography isn’t just about new cameras—it’s about how, and why, we use them. That idea runs through much of this week’s coverage, from our conversation with Sigma’s CEO Kazuto Yamaki on the industry’s uncertain trajectory to a behind-the-scenes look at how we shoot our sample galleries.
We also dig into the evolving world of video workflows with Nikon’s latest RAW formats, uncover a small but telling camera moment aboard Artemis II, and open the doors to April’s Photo Challenge. And if you thought compact film cameras were gone for good, you may want to think again.

The Drink Everyone’s Reaching For This Spring 🍸✨
Spring doesn’t have to mean a packed schedule and another drink you regret tomorrow.
This season, I’m reaching for something different: Vesper by Pique.
Pique is known for blending ancient botanicals with modern science to create elevated wellness essentials. Vesper might be my favorite yet. It’s a non-alcoholic, adaptogenic aperitif that delivers the relaxed, social glow of a cocktail. Without alcohol or the next-day fog.
It’s what I pour when I want something special in my glass on a bright spring evening. Each sip feels celebratory and uplifting. Relaxed body. Clear mind. No haze. No sleep disruption.
Crafted with L-theanine, lemon balm, gentian root, damiana, and elderflower, Vesper is sparkling, tart, and beautifully herbaceous.
If you’re ready for a new kind of happy hour, try Vesper here. 🌿✨
