I don’t hold with this generation of AI snappers. No craft. A photographer sees an arrangement of people and light set to appear and gets ready. She’s imag(in)ing in the shadow of Cartier-Bresson’s decisive moment, the perfect coming together. What makes a real photographer? It’s the eye, the ability to see that picture in your mind and then knowing how to capture it. It’s not pressing the button and letting AI do the rest. No. This is craft. You need to spend time combining elements, getting the light right. They just don’t spend enough time in their digital darkroom.
