Is the future of photography shaped only by new cameras? Adem Meleke’s appearance on the Kadraj Kafası channel explores this question through artificial intelligence, equipment choices, visual storytelling and archiving. Published on 21 October 2026, the 36-minute, 40-second episode offers GezginFoto readers a conversation relevant to different levels of photographic experience.
The opening part of the discussion considers the relationship between artificial intelligence and photography, including the idea of “fotoğrafça”, or the language of photography. The distinction between understanding a camera’s technical operation and developing a photographic language is explored alongside AI features in cameras and debates concerning photographic competitions.
The equipment discussion covers competition between Canon, Nikon and Sony, as well as Meleke’s preference for Nikon. A section for beginners considers how to divide a budget between a camera body and lenses. The conversation thus goes beyond technological developments to address practical purchasing decisions.
The final part focuses on the life of photographs after the shutter is released: keeping RAW files, organising digital archives and the documentary value that images acquire over time. Anyone interested in photography’s future can watch the complete episode in the video on this page. The original conversation is in Turkish.
