Thoughts on How AI Will Impact the Professional Photography Industry

Thoughts on How AI Will Impact the Professional Photography Industry

AI has caused a ton of excitement and controversy in the last year, and the photo industry has not been immune to it. This has led to many creatives wondering how the role of the professional photographer will evolve under the shadow of AI. This insightful video essay features an experienced commercial photographer discussing his thoughts on the topic. 

Coming to you from Scott Choucino of Tin House Studio, this interesting video essay discusses the future of professional photography with the evolution of AI. I think Choucino makes some interesting points regarding other groundbreaking technologies, such as the Brownie camera and the shift from film to digital. All of these were seen as death knells for the industry by many, but, as we know, photography continued to grow and thrive. Now, that is not to say that these did not have an impact, and surely, they even put some professionals out of business. However, the photography industry is not unique in that sense, and the onus is on professionals to read the industry and adapt as needed. While not to diminish the impact AI will have on the industry, there will always be the need for photographers in many capacities. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Choucino.

The photograph was years in the making, but “Bobcat on Dam” was worth the effort, Snow Hill wildlife photographer Neil Jernigan said.

The image captured on a beaver dam with a trap camera outside of Snow Hill was selected from more than 1,700 entries as the grand prize winner of the statewide 2022-23 Wildlife in North Carolina Photo Competition.

Brandon Hanks was obsessed with music and wanted to be involved in concerts, but, since he wasn’t a musician, he didn’t know how.

A friend encouraged him to photograph a concert for an online publication.
