I had to ask myself: "Is now a good time to start providing portrait photography services?" Artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about a significant transformation in photography. Now, even inexperienced individuals can capture good photos with ease.
Here are some specific examples of how AI is being used in photography:
Autonomous cameras: Some can now be programmed to take photos without human input. These cameras can use AI to identify subjects, set exposure, and even compose shots.
Image editing: AI can be used to edit photos in various ways. For example, AI can be used to remove blemishes, improve skin tone, and even change the background of a picture.
Creative photography: AI can also be used to create innovative images that would be difficult or impossible to make with traditional techniques. For example, AI can be used to generate images that are realistic but also have a surreal or dreamlike quality.
As AI technology develops, we will likely see even more innovative and creative uses for AI in photography. However, even with the advances of AI, there will still be a need for personal portrait photographers. AI cannot yet replace the human touch and creativity that a professional photographer can bring to a portrait session. There are still particular prerequisites for hiring a personal portrait photographer. These must be taken into consideration.
Creativity and artistry: A personal portrait photographer should be able to capture your unique personality and style in their images. They should also be able to develop creative ideas for poses and locations.
Technical expertise: A personal portrait photographer should understand photography techniques and equipment. They can use their skills to create technically perfect images.
Communication skills: A personal portrait photographer should be able to communicate effectively with their clients. They should be able to understand your needs and expectations, and they should be able to give you feedback on your photos.
In addition to these requirements, other factors may make you want to hire a personal portrait photographer. These include:
The importance of the occasion: If you have a special occasion, such as a wedding or a graduation, you should hire a professional photographer to capture the memories.
Your comfort level: If you are uncomfortable taking photos or want the best possible results, hire a professional photographer.
Ultimately, whether or not to hire a personal portrait photographer is a personal one. However, hiring a professional photographer is an excellent option if you are looking for high-quality photos that capture your unique personality and style.
Am I concerned about becoming obsolete due to the rise of AI photography? No, my ability to provide a personal human touch will always be my most vital asset.
