I'm fairly sure I lost an office headshot gig to AI / virtual headshots. Most people know this option does not take the place of creative talent, but it reveals a different customer than what I am looking for. I don't want to be the old guy saying "get off my lawn" as AI could be a useful ally in society. Though, I do not think it is a suitable replacement for human creativity.

I am thankful to have reached the point in my career where I love working with my clients, but not every booking is needed if it doesn't fit. If an AI headshot is all someone's career is worth, so be it. I must believe my clients are still out there. Oh yeah! I am booking headshot sessions—hit me up, don't be shy. :D

Been a good week for inquiries for proposals and wedding. I am also working on building a photography mentoring program for both intentional photography, and building an emerging photography business. I'm not one of those "earn six figures" or "hype coach" snake oil salespeople. Just a working photographer ready to work with others. Does this sound like a cool idea?

I never understood why anyone would trust their professional image to an AI headshot, but some feel it's a good option. Let me break down different thoughts, and you decide what is right for you. :)

Why photography and professional headshots still matter- professional headshots in the age of AI do not diminish a photographer's value
