Description
Today's question from Jason R. is, "This is such a morbid question, but what happens with all of a photographer's work after they pass away? Is someone generally named to maintain the archives, such as a family member? Would any of the photographer's work see light of day again, or just lay dormant in the cloud and on physical backup drives? Thanks."
