What is the future of photography?
Critics have been warning about the death of photography as an art form for years. Smartphones were going to lead to its demise by making everyone a photographer. Then came warnings about AI, which can create photographic images without a human actually being present at a given time and place.

She joins us to discuss how it has changed from its purest form in the 1950s to today.-------We love hearing from you. Lilah is on Instagram @lilahrap, and email at lilahrap@ft.com.
