AI models are getting so good at creating realistic photographs with just some selfies. So why do we need human photgraphers? iPhone photos + AI seems to do the trick for most.
Thhink professional headshots, graduation photos, weddings, family portraits...
The entire photography profession is disrupted.

Now it's just selfies and AI.
Why would I want an Ai photo of my wedding anyway?
If you had imperfect makeup/weather/pose/background/lighting or were using a cheap camera with incorrect focal setup. All of that can be turned into 10/10 photos with AI.
some photos made by AI
some books written by AI
some code written by AI
not all
if lets say before it was 100% done by human.
now it's just 20%.
that will drastically impact everyone's decision making.
if you were learning photography. would you still?
if you / your kid's in college trying to pick a career. what would you choose?
the information available, which includes how *most* of the world choose to get their photos / software / books made, will have a big impact on our decisions.
First of all, photography was never a profession I would have recommended a kid get in to lol.
I think it's likely we'll see fewer photography jobs, but the jobs that do exist will require more networking, higher skill, and come with better pay.
For example, in my area there's a surge of demand for weddings shot on film - durable physical memories of reality. Some folks even do daguerreotypes. Or in the other direction, we see "cinematic" weddings with video production teams.
That said, photography will probably remain a hobby for many. And people at the highest skill level will still be fine.
We need more authentic stuff hand-crafted to perfection.
