In this video I offer a perspective on photography and how it might be affected by the rise of A.I.

My biggest concern for photography is that we just get so fed up with images everywhere and all the time. We lose the appetite... But maybe it is all fine. The already endless stream of millions of images on social media, is so shallow. So hopefully photography will survive in print and books. Print your photos. Give them to someone who actually cares. That's it. And forget "fame" on IG, Facebook, TH-cam ... It's pointless....
As a software engineer and photographer, a number of friends have asked me about my predicted impacts of AI on photography. My take is that stock photography will likely finish it’s slow death because the types of things it’s used for will be more efficiently made by AI. But there will be weddings and events, people who want a photo of themselves of their loved ones, and many other genres that can’t be faked because they capture a specific moment in time.
Never fails. I don’t know anyone who can speak about pretty much anything with such intellect and simplicity. His talent goes way beyond his photography. Sean’s narration is masterful and inspiring.
You remain as my favorite photographer of this generation, not for any silly reason. This video is another clear example why. Such a down to earth and human way of seeing things. Thanks for another great uplifting content. 😊🙏🏻
When commercial photography began to switch from film to digital in the 90’s we lost a lot of clients that went “in house” because they felt they could save money and do it themselves. It changed professional photography forever. More recently, phones and Instagram have changed professional photography forever, again. Each change that makes it easier for anyone to do it, changes professional photography and slowly chips away at the validity of the profession. But, I see it as a positive. I see it bringing about the resurgence of photography in some of its original formats and creating a separation between the photographers that can do it, and those that can’t. Having Ai as a barometer will only strengthen photography in its purest form, photography that can be considered art.
I love that you called the 3D graphics person a "computer artist," because it is still an art, and the images are still an art form.
I love this so much! You’re always setting the record straight in a very logical and respectful way.
Indeed. I paint. People thought painting was dead when photography came along, but it's still here and going strong. Another, less related, example is that more candles are sold now than even before we had electric light.
Thanks Sean, as a consumer - I don't want CGI to represent products because I want to know what they actually look like instead of what they might look like. Similarly many genres of photography deal with capturing a moment thinking about portrait and wedding photography specifically, and generating the moment instead of capturing it won't hold long term value because it won't have any memories or meaning behind it.
Exceptionally well presented. I recall (from my feeble memory) when I thought Photoshop was evil, and then I realized Photoshop’s “Dodge and Burn tools” were no different than Ansel Adams’ darkroom techniques , but with “layers”, I could remember and repeat my steps. Take ANY Ansel Adams photograph: can you imagine what it would take to make even two prints!
"How it's made, matters deeply". Well said.
Spot on, Sean. Spot on. Indeed you had to present something about that matter. Once again you did it. Diplomatically and, as always, elegantly.
I like the way Sean is addressing this current subject. In my book, Right Brain Photography (Be an artist first), I talk about heavily post-processed images. I say it's a different form of art; we just don't have a new name/word for it. So, we continue calling that too "Photography." I talk about creative ways of creating "right brain" images using creative in-camera techniques, rather than relying on computer-generated manipulation.
Thank you, once again, for sharing your very thoughtful perspectives! This is always greatly appreciated because it helps me develop and refine my own thoughts on these and other issues!
Sean, I think you are spot on with this! I really can't add anything more. I so enjoy your videos, always near perfectly in line with my way of thinking but in a way I would never be able to put into words as well as you do. I look forward to each and every one. Thank you!.
I called myself a photographer for the first time in 1986. I feel as good about the art form today. The transition to digital was amazing. My move to Ai has been nothing short of breath taking. Digital and AI now work hand and hand, back ground, skin repair. The removal of double chins since as I passed 60 my clients are older and a little bigger and they also know what I'm capable of. Said all that to say don't run away from Ai. Figure out when and how you use the tool.
very thought provoking and insightful. Thank you Sean.
what a refreshing and positively forward looking take. Much appreciated.
The Best video I have seen & learnt a lot this year!
Thanks for the inspiration and for your perspective. The meaning and the message is on point. Photography will always be a medium I enjoy.
