Maybe we are approaching the next disruptive technology, i.e. virtual reality/CGI.  Who cares about a real picture, put yourself anywhere in the world with software (if you want a selfie), or create your own landscape and wildlife. All from your armchair.

 

Today afternoon I was thinking of the same thing: after all, you just need a 3d scanner for your body; the software for the rendering in any pose already exists. It's just a matter of price dropping to make it viable for mass customers. And at that point the decoupling of "photography" from reality will be complete.
