- Suzanne Sease features Cigars: A Biography, a handbound volume representing a 15-year collaboration between author (and cigar connoisseur) Aaron Sigmond and photographer Ian Spanier.
- In Biases in Photography, Paul Melcher suggests "there are two primary types of biases: the subjects we choose to capture and the images we ultimately decide to share." He points to photos of kitchens to show how AI misses "the richness of real, everyday life."
- Nilofer Khan finds the value of Old Digital Compact Cameras skyrocketing. Gen Z is opting for "the Nikon Coolpix series, the Olympus ยต (Mju) Mini, or the Fujifilm FinePix JV100," among others. Japanese buyers are paying twenty times the used market value in the U.S.
