Now that we have your attention! 😀
I know, I know… it’s strange hearing this from an AI company. But there’s a perspective we wanted to share.
We get it. Sometimes AI can feel like a strange entity from the unknown. You might even wonder: |
|
|
“Will machines replace us?
Will The Matrix become true?” |
|
While we don’t know what the future holds and where we’ll be 10 or 100 years from now (we’re praying for flying cars though). For the time being, it’s safe to say that the answer is, no. Especially when it comes to using AI in your photography workflow.
We’re not on a mission to turn photography into an assembly line of button-clicking. In fact, we’re here to say that some things AI just can’t do – and that’s a good thing. |

AI has made huge strides in assisting with the heavy lifting of repetitive tasks, like sorting through thousands of images, making quick edits, and even matching specific editing styles. It’s like a super-organized assistant that frees up time for you to focus on the creative work.
While AI can do a lot, there’s still some things that it can’t. It simply can’t recognize the emotion, have the intuition to see, or that gut feeling that tells you when a photo truly speaks. |

|
Photography, at its core, is about storytelling. It’s the art of capturing a feeling or a fleeting moment. AI doesn’t understand the importance of these moments. It can’t feel the connection between a couple on their wedding day or interpret the joke in a candid shot. And this is the very least your clients deserve – moments that reflect their true essence, not just polished images. |

As Justin, our founder, says |
|
It might not know that a “blink” could be a touching moment between a father and daughter at a wedding or a laugh that doesn’t need to be “corrected.” AI might adjust a shot to fit certain conditions, but it won’t know you’re aiming to capture a specific mood, story, or emotion.
Sometimes, certain imperfections make a moment even more perfect.
AI isn’t here to take over – it’s an ally, helping you free up more time for creative decisions, giving you the room to focus on your unique artistry, and refining your vision. So, while it’s a powerful tool, your style, your voice, and your perspective – that’s only yours to bring to your photography. |
