Somewhere between the algorithm wars and the AI-image deluge, a photographer named Cassia Rhen is running a profitable business.

She shoots zero-g portraiture on Ceres Station. She delivers client galleries. She sells prints — physical ones, fabricated on demand, shipped to whatever rock her clients call home. She manages her own payment processing.
