I see you’re asking about Scott Kivowitz specifically, but in the content you’re referencing, it’s actually me, Scott Wyden, talking about AI and photography. I’ll answer from my own perspective.

I don’t see AI as replacing photographers, especially not in emotional, relationship-driven work like weddings and portraits. What AI will do is change how we work.

In editing, I view AI as:

  • A workflow accelerator: culling, base edits, and consistency across large sets
  • A creative assistant, not the creative director
  • A tool we need to adapt to, learn, and control, rather than fear

The photographers who thrive will be the ones who use AI to buy back time for what only humans can do: connecting with clients, telling real stories, and making intentional creative choices.

Is there a particular part of AI editing you’re most curious about—culling, color grading, or full-on generative tools?
