Also I had never really thought of this ‘photomanipulation much like AI generator art, allows the expression of grand sometimes logistically impossible ideas with no production budget.’ This has made me think of ai as a potential way to make visual shot lists and mood boards before having to invest in the real world creation
Yes I know many photographers who say they use it to create mood boards, shoot cards or story boards especially in product photography where they do actual mock ups of how they’d shoot it. Only concern I have in doing that, is eventually clients will just pay subscription fee to midjourney and can easily find the prompts and plug it in themselves to create their own product shoot for example, and then we’ve just shot ourselves in the foot
I’m sure A I is going to be useful for the mundane tasks like selecting objects and cutting out etc in saving us some time but I feel eventually people using it to create everything in computer are going to miss the joy of creating it in real life
Hahah thank you! I was like, no way is A I gonna beat our creativity to make it for real rather than surreal haha! I love a challenge in figuring out how to make stuff that could work as shoot props etc
I'm intrigued by the great AI debate. My husband and I were just discussing this with one of our children on a road trip earlier this week. The perspective you laid out here makes a truly valid case in regards to art and AI. The unknown, of what we will choose as a whole collective, is a little nerve wracking. What a time to be alive! Great article, Katriena.
Yeah what a time to be alive! But I also thought after I wrote it, this current generation who have grown up still knowing what a hand crocheted item looks like etc, imagine the babies born at the time when AI is everywhere how it may change their perspective if they don’t know what’s been before, in order to yearn for the nostalgia of home baked bread, a physically painted portrait, if all they know is AI generated, I do worry about that, because they will loose many of the touch point skills that we cultivate when we learn to do things ourselves and experience it directly rather than indirectly through some metaverse! I’m still wary of it all and I don’t think we should entirely sit back and relax but keep being observant
I am absolutely in awe of your photography that mimics AI with the pearls like GIRL you made that?!!! You’re so talented
