All this, especially as it relates to "life during COVID".
I have noticed that in today's art (gallery) photo world, there are a number of themes that stand out as the flavor of the day:
Deeply personal work--illustrating one's personal or family situation, present or past. Often delving into personal psychological issues.
Socially relevant work or work that documents and usually criticizes social/ethical situations.
Staged photos, sometimes with models, illustrating of either of the above.
Multi-media, manipulated, collaged, painted, mutilated photos, either originals or found photos, once again often illustrating the first two themes above.
"Novelty" lensless photography--cyanotypes especially.
To a lesser extent, obsolete processes such a tintypes, daguerrotypes, colloidon where the process takes priority over the actual artistic character.
Very often execution and technique are secondary.
Unfortunately the "Heroic Age" of photography is over, and so is the age of the "Heroic Photographer."

There is almost no such thing as a photographer any longer. You literally need to do a million other things if you intend to make any money let alone be famous.
There is nothing special about photography.The question is too broad. What kind of photography? Industrial, wedding, travel, news, art? Another question, does being well known always reflect quality of work?
