Photographers Ana Mello and Evelyn Müller were the guests on the latest episode of Betoneira, and the conversation revolved around the work of architectural and interior photographers, author attribution, and image ownership. Müller spoke about the inception of Conafarq (Coletivo Nacional de Fotógrafos de Arquitetura) during the pandemic, when many photographers were left without work for months. Although the market was at a standstill, photographers noticed that their pre-pandemic photos continued to be used by clients in various contexts—such as social media, emails, and other channels. Small groups began to mobilize to discuss the need for photographers to be compensated whenever their photos are used commercially.
