Just a little thought I'm having at 10pm at night…
AI is just out of control now... and if you didn't know... it's becoming a huge thing in photography... A lot of photographers shoot a session and then throw the images into program to edit for them now... and they have a gallery done for them super quick.
I totally understand using tools to help workflow... I use tools that help sometimes (like culling- yet I still go through them myself again afterwards) because I’m one person running a business and raising kids...
But there is just no way I can just let a program edit my images and then send over my work like that.
Editing is part of the art for me.
I always say the photos are like a sketch before the painting.... I edit my own stuff.. my work is MY Art.
It takes me way longer... takes a ton of my time and gives me way more work.
But I care too much about what I deliver to rush through it.
My clients are worth it. They’re paying for my talent, and both they and my art are WORTH the time.
And yeah… I’ll be honest, I do use AI sometimes for certain things. But maybe we just need to be a little more mindful with how far we take it… for the environment... and to keep using our own talents and brains more.
