AI is a tool, to be used at ones discretion. Although we don’t use AI in any way I think it’s important for anyone to know how AI is used specifically in photography.
Things to Consider:
✅ AI should be used for tools and can be done well
✅ AI can assist in a smooth consistent process for clients
❌AI should not be replacing our jobs, or our eye for things
❌ AI should not be aiming to replace someone’s face
These are just a few of the common AI programs thay are used in the photographer world.
