This past week I was asked a lot about the new generative AI tools in Photoshop and how they will impact my workflow. To be honest, I am not yet sure how they will completely impact my workflow, but they will cause a shift for sure. At the same time, the quote, “I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them” by Diane Arbus got me thinking about how we might be asking the wrong question about all this new technology.
In this week’s podcast, I discuss how what you photograph and how you see the world will impact your approach using some of these new generative tools. Depending on who you are and how you see, these tools may finally let you express what you see, and for others, it will help provide clarity to the more documentary way they photograph. Either way, the conversations about these tools and their impacts will continue as photography takes its next leap.
