About

Life with social media is exhausting. AI floods the world with machine generated images. The more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. In response, emerging voices and veteran visual storytellers turn to the tactility of the photographic object, the intentionality of the development process, and the uniqueness of a composition captured on a roll of film. They seek connection and community through photography. The future, so it seems, is analog.

Fast Forward considers how photography creates a space for camaraderie and interaction, and how analog processes play a pivotal role in such conversations.
