I’ve been doing this as a parent since birth, as a daycare provider since the start, and as a photographer for a year. Worth it. Even when it’s hard. Your babies are worth it
This is something I’ve been battling for a few months. Had so many conversations with other photographers about, and started posting less and less photos of children- however, within the last 24 hours I have seen so many posts flooding my feed. I’ve been on the fence about even making a post addressing my stance. But I would rather be loud about it- so clients can understand why I will not be sharing some sessions on here, or why I will not post a cute photo of your kiddo.
I will no longer be posting identifiable images of children on my photography page. Never again.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that privately possessing AI-generated CSAM depicting “fictional” children can be constitutionally protected when it stays within the home.
That information makes me sick, and I cannot and will not risk being part of the problem If our government and laws aren’t going to adequately protect children from what AI can do with their images.
Will this affect my business?
I don’t care if it does.
I would hope that it gives you even more trust that your images are always safe with me, though.
I always want to give best attempt to be on the correct side of history.
The safety of children and my clients will always come before my business.
Thank you 🙂
