Can you say this about photography?

Can you say this about video and photo? Can you correct the sentence so it is natural?

Sometimes photography speaks more than videoagraphy.

Photography ages better than videoagraphy. A photograph will look the same in 30 years, a video will be outdated in its style and due to technology.

Thank you

I've never heard 'age well' when talking about objects such as photography, Would you use 'age' and is it natural or just not incorrect?

Is 'in' correct in 'in its style' or is there a nicer phrasing?
Thanks

"ages better" and "in its style" are both fine.
