Here's how you can adapt to the impact of artificial intelligence on professional photography demand.

AI can never replace emotions created via human intervention. Photography is an art form which helps tell a specific story with emotions, just like a painting or a dance form. AI is just another tool which can help enhance our art form by making the process efficient and hence saving time. We should embrace AI which is an evolution in technology, just the way we embraced other technologies over the years of human evolution.

AI has improved my edit workflow immensely. It already has a solid role in post-production, and as it advances, may eek into shooting as well (think camera settings, blink detection, etc). What it won't replace is the human eye and creativity. Why wouldn't you embrace it if it can speed up or eliminate mundane and tedious tasks in a retouch process?

Artificial Intelligence can never replace the empathy , the creativity or the humanity of a moment . AI relies on perfection, and reality is imperfect and that’s where it resides its beauty and authenticity.

Creating photography that directly connects to the human. Diversifying your techniques by applying powerful narratives that make the visual dynamics of photography broad. AI is set on what is known or has been trending. The power of narration is important because it constantly shifts the conversation. That creates a cinematic experience through stills. Photography needs to remain realistic in the creative approach and experience. That way the hunger to create doesn’t die out. Focal points are important because they help create direction. I suggest one should create their own hypothesis or write a short story. Experiences vary depending on how one views the experience; experiences are 3Dimensional.

The important fact here is to really remain true to your craft, to emancipate yourself through it so that your personality ends up colouring your work — what we call "style" is something unique to you, like a fingerprint that no one can truly emulate. This is the crucial part for artists to understand when faced with the threat of AI: their style can never truly be copied if they remain original in their approach. And that's because the only way an AI would replace you is that it'd actually have to become you. A lot of pictures have been taken hundreds of thousands of times by other humans. And AI will likely end up covering even more ground. What matters is this unique story each and everyone of us brings to the table. Focus on that!

Encontrar beleza em lugares muitas vezes inóspitos, pode colocar qualquer fotógrafo à frente de qualquer AI. Assim têm sido a realidade de muitos profissionais que se aventuram no pré wedding, por exemplo. Explorar as possibilidades e clicar sem medo de julgamentos, se inspirando nos grandes nomes da fotografia, ainda será a melhor maneira de se especializar.

En mi opinión la sensibilidad y criterio del dise?ador no puede ser sustituible por la IA, sin embargo debemos formarnos y especializarnos en utilizarla como herramienta para proyectar nuestras propias ideas. ?Que pensarías si te digo que puede ser tu dibujante/deliniante becario? No dejarías todo a su criterio, más bien enriquecería el proyecto.

Art is the basically using the understanding of the tools available to you to create something that speaks from your heart to another that's what art is about and learning how to use AI to create art is the a step in this journey we've chosen to embark on. You can choose to leant how to utilise AI for your benefit or leave it and create art the traditional way, it's all up to you.

Again I think that if you want to end up as an image creator / AI designer rather than an artist the keep up with the technology, personally I think get back to basics and learn and create using old techniques and develope a style that no one else has and enjoy the old processes

Keeping abreast of technological advancements and understanding how AI tools work can position you as a forward-thinking professional. This knowledge not only enhances your own work but can also provide additional revenue streams, such as consulting or teaching others about integrating AI in photography.

In today's dynamic photography landscape, AI isn't just a trendy term—it's your key to unlocking endless possibilities. With AI, you can effortlessly elevate your photos from ordinary to extraordinary. Imagine having a virtual assistant guiding you through every step of the editing process, helping you bring out the best in your images with just a few clicks. And here's the exciting part: AI isn't about replacing your creativity; it's about enhancing it. So why hesitate?

Skill upgrading is great, but... industry needs to upgrade! What will happen when data collected from people who were replaced by machines is no longer of value? Will we have to pay the machines money and then sell stuff to them?

Non je crois pas que la photographie traditionnelle est en danger face a l'IA, rien ne vaut un humain derrière le bo?tier et la retouche ,il y a pas d'équivalence , l'IA arrive a faire une photo sur ce que l'on demande a avoir mais ?a n'a pas la touche et l'émotion d'une vraie photo.

As someone who has worked with alot of photographers and assisted them with everything from studio set-ups and marketing, to editing and client viewings, I believe offering more than one type of photo service is vital to keeping your business afloat, let alone strengthening it, especially in these difficult economic times. As for AI, I think it will have a very minimal impact for most photography businesses in terms of competition. But, I see it as a potentially useful tool for a few.

Consider offering new services that merge traditional photography skills with AI capabilities. For example, virtual reality (VR) photography, augmented reality (AR) experiences, or AI-generated imagery for specific industries could open new markets.

Sobreviver na indústria da fotografia torna-se cada vez mais desafiador. é sabido que a demanda por velocidade é grande e, portanto, é necessário ser cada vez mais competitivo. Estar presente como um multiplicador de conhecimento pode ser uma excelente estratégia. Além de compartilhar conhecimento e formar m?o de obra para alguns trabalhos, isso também pode nos tornar uma referência para outros, o que pode contribuir para uma maior rentabilidade. Com a introdu??o da Inteligência Artificial (I.A.), surge um novo mercado no qual podemos contribuir com nosso conhecimento e experiência, ajudando a criar referências suficientes para atender às diversas demandas dos clientes nos dias de hoje.

Adoptar la IA es crucial para mantenerse relevante en la industria de la fotografía. La IA puede automatizar tareas tediosas, permitiéndote enfocarte en la creatividad. Además, las herramientas de edición impulsadas por IA hacen el posprocesamiento más eficiente, ahorrando tiempo y recursos que puedes destinar a expandir tu negocio o perfeccionar tus habilidades. Especialízate en nichos que requieran un toque humano, como la fotografía de bodas o retratos, y diversifica tus ingresos ofreciendo talleres, cursos en línea o colaborando con empresas tecnológicas. Esta estrategia te posicionará a la vanguardia de la industria. #Fotografía #IA #Innovación

Tenho convic??o de que as redes de contatos sempre foram e continuar?o sendo a melhor forma de desenvolvimento e crescimento profissional. A introdu??o da Inteligência Artificial (I.A.) na fotografia torna essa necessidade ainda mais evidente, especialmente num mundo em que estamos constantemente conectados e as tendências favorecem cada vez mais imagens diferenciadas, com foco na especialidade. Agora, as imagens n?o surgem do nada; elas requerem uma origem, um aprendizado da I.A. com alguém. E as comunidades podem ser fundamentais nesse processo, proporcionando um aprendizado uniforme e organizado.

Building a strong network within the photography community and related industries can open up new opportunities. Join photography groups, attend industry events, and engage with other professionals online. Collaborating with influencers, businesses, and other creatives can lead to referrals and new projects. Smart networking helps you stay informed about industry trends and can provide support and inspiration.

As áreas de fotografia e produ??o de vídeo demandam uma rede de conex?es e contatos tanto entre os profissionais quanto para capta??o de clientes. Dessa forma, cabe aos profissionais da área se unirem para exigir a regulamenta??o adequada das ferramentas que buscam substituir o trabalho humano e também para fortalecer o olhar criativo da produ??o humana. Além disso, é preciso demandar do setor tecnológico ferramentas de IA que v?o facilitar e acessibilizar o trabalho do fotógrafo em vez de substituí-lo.

Mais uma vez entendo que isso é serrar o próprio galho, fazer networking é fazer parceria para negócios e n?o servir a desenvolvedores de IA, isso n?o é nos alimentar com ferramentas, a evolu??o é um caminho que n?o podemos sair dele, mas também n?o é caminhar até morrer de sede ou fome.

Es muy útil unirse a comunidades grupos para intercambiar experiencias, conocimiento. Las redes sociales funcionan cuando se comparte contenido de valor y sirve para mejorar y la fotografía en general es una experiencia única.

Tenho absoluta certeza de que levará bastante tempo para que a Inteligência Artificial alcance o olhar humano. Esse olhar vai muito além do momento do clique; envolve todo um processo de aprendizado baseado em cliques anteriores, experiências de tentativa e erro. Além disso, o ato de clicar também depende da compreens?o do cliente. às vezes, ao ouvirmos atentamente uma solicita??o, somos capazes de entregar algo mais complexo e perfeito do que o esperado, e o cliente reconhece que é exatamente isso que ele desejava. Essa habilidade só é adquirida por meio de muitos "n?os" recebidos, o que nos leva à conclus?o de que ter tempo para ouvir, refletir e só ent?o agir faz toda a diferen?a.

Offering unique photography experiences that cannot be replicated by AI, such as personalized shoots or immersive photography tours, can be a significant differentiator.

As I just said in the prompting/job security reply here, most people don't know what machine learning is. That includes most artists, most clients, and worryingly sometimes people in the ML field. Remember: clients frequently do not know what they want. Sure, a large language model can provide a few ideas verbally, but it's not going to be very precise. If it was, I'd be able to play a decent game of chess against it. You add value by selling a vision and then delivering on it. If you can't do one or the other, you need to work on that, or computers are going to be the least of your problems.

AI is creating imagens within a certain template and following rather narrow stereotypical ideas of what photography can be. Personalization can also be thought of as understand what you can create that is out of the ordinary. Understanding the client can also mean understand what the client has glimpsed at, but now it's up to you to materialize it. AI is another "mode" of production, not a substitute for humans.

A significant portion of my photography contracts are with exploration crews in very remote areas of Canada. I offer field experience as a reliable source of a skillful trade which cannot be replaced by AI. With real experience I have a great understanding of what clients will want and in the end will need. I capture the moments in the field where there is limited technological access.

Stay aware of the ethical implications of AI in photography. Ensure that you maintain the integrity of your work and respect the privacy and rights of your subjects. Be adaptable and open to change. The photography industry will continue to evolve with technological advancements. Being flexible and willing to pivot your approach will help you stay relevant. Educate your clients on the value of professional photography. Highlight the creative process, expertise, and personalized service that you bring, which cannot be replicated by AI.

Adapting to the impact of artificial intelligence on professional photography demand involves embracing the technology rather than fearing it. Start by learning about AI tools that can enhance your workflow, such as software for automated editing and image enhancement. Focus on developing your unique creative skills that AI cannot replicate, like capturing the perfect moment or creating a compelling narrative through your photos. Stay updated with industry trends and continuously improve your technical skills. By combining your artistic vision with AI capabilities, you can offer distinctive services that stand out in a competitive market.

é importante ressaltar que as IAs s?o treinadas a partir de conteúdos já prontos realizados por humanos. Assim, cabe discutir até que ponto os autores est?ao sendo reconhecidos e recompensados por sua cria??o, já que muitos produtos IA têm características de plágio. Além disso, as IAs necessitam ser continuamente atualizadas e alimentadas com novas informa??es, ent?o sem a produ??o humana n?o existe IA.

You have to consider where AI gets the photography. Is it royalty free is it protected. The photography has to come from a reliable source legally. A human element will always be needed. An artistic eye.
