World Photography Day prompts reflection on the current state of the photography industry. Despite having a Master's in photography and identification as a photographer, freelance work has been absent for over two years. The digital landscape emphasizes affordable AI-generated content, challenging traditional photography's value. While photography can be fulfilling, transparency about its financial viability is crucial for aspiring artists. AI cannot replace capturing personal moments, although it may excel in generic genres like landscape or product photography.
In today's digital landscape, there's a sharper focus on the best iPhones for photography, how to make the highest quality social media videos, and the best ways to use ChatGPT for generative AI.
Photography can be very rewarding, but think carefully about your options and learn from my mistakes as a creative who's still paying off a loan for a Master's degree that's essentially collecting dust.
You can't get AI to generate your wedding photos, or capture a sentimental moment such as your child graduating, or perhaps a loved one's birthday.
In my opinion, it depends on the genre and subject matter. Things like landscape photography, macro imagery, architecture shots, or general product stills are more generic and can all be accessed.
