Question
What are the key insights from Scott Kivowitz's exploration of AI in photography?
Answer
Hi there! I’ve been talking a lot lately about how AI fits into photography, so here are the big takeaways from what I’ve been sharing:
-
AI is a tool, not a replacement
AI can speed up workflows, spark ideas, and help with culling, editing, and critiquing, but the photographer’s vision, taste, and decisions still matter most. -
Real‑time inspiration and feedback are game changers
Tools like Insight (the software I’ve highlighted) can receive images straight from your camera via WiFi/FTP and instantly return inspirational image grids and critiques while you’re shooting. That helps you experiment more on location instead of waiting until you’re back at the computer. -
AI can help you grow creatively, not just technically
By comparing your image to different styles and compositions, AI can push you to try new angles, lighting, or framing you might not have considered. -
Skepticism is normal, but exploration is worth it
Many photographers are understandably negative or cautious about AI. My stance is: stay informed, test tools yourself, and adopt what genuinely improves your work and client experience—ignore the hype and fear.
Is there a specific part of AI in photography you’d like me to dig into more—editing, critique, inspiration, or business impact?
