What future photography innovations excite Scott Kivowitz the most?

Hi there!

From what I’ve shared publicly, I haven’t really laid out a ranked list of “future innovations” that excite me most, but there are a few clear themes I’m consistently drawn to:

• Smarter workflows: Tools like Imagen and services that use AI to speed editing while keeping a photographer’s style really interest me, because they give more time to actually create.
• Better, more thoughtful gear: I get excited about brands that solve real problems for photographers—Think Tank bags, Spider Holster, etc.—and I’m always watching for gear that’s more ergonomic, durable, and purpose‑built.
• Community and education: Innovations in how we connect and learn—both online tools and in‑person event experiences—are huge for me, because they strengthen the photography community more than any single gadget.

If you’re thinking about the future too, what kind of innovation would make the biggest difference in your own photography?
