Wow, this leaves me rather pissed off at Sony. AI images are visual art and absolutely should not be considered Photography. Saying Post-Photography is an insult to all photographers. This is more a kin to painting and collage. That said in my opinion most commercial digital photography should be called mixed media (if you manipulate the image more than light and color balance). Very happy to hear that he refuses the prize. Weird situation.

Let’s not forget a contest is just one winner among the crowd. One number into the mass is just that. Contest do not define photography. Imagine how many talented people are not chosen.
