Digital pictures of their work last indefinitely, just saying
Edit: To everyone mentioning that digital photos aren't guaranteed to last forever, yup: That's what indefinitely kinda means. There is no guarantee. Could last another day because the medium the only copy was stored on failed, or it could last for thousands of years because it was properly backed up in a lossless format.
Things stored digitally are sadly anything but everlasting, a lot is lost to time already
You have to take measures to preserve and back it up, it's definitely not guaranteed.
physical printed photos of these digital images may last /s
good luck with that
