I think we need to separate the most basic aspects. Photography is produced with a camera and on the location of your choice. You need to pay attention to light, framing, your models, maybe model release. You may need to bring your lights, to do a research about the location. If it’s documentary photography, you actually have to go to that place, you can’t deliver an AI image, you MUST go there an do your thing.
Creating imagery or images that look like photographs or using AI generative tools feeding photography, it’s just like when an artists create images using a technique like the collage. The main difference here is you have access to a gigantic database, it is like the autofill in your phone but in steroids. So I do not think the term photography or the world of photography is in any danger, at least not to those with more knowledge and understanding about photography and newer technologies.
Can we say this person who win a contest is an artist? Yes, because artists use many mediums to achieve diferente results. Is this a material for a photography contest? Personally, I don’t think so, I think AI artists need their own contests because they do not work “on the field” <- main difference. They work at home, curating and editing, which is just a part of a more complex process.
For me it is not about a memory, it’s about human contact, the core of photography is human contact, so access to a big database to build imagery related to keywords… it’s not human contact. It may be a conceptual art that may touch people’s emotions, but is a totally different process.
I think the key is to understand if we are artists who use photography as a medium or any medium to express ourselves.
Hey and let’s not forget this. By using AI, you are removing yourself from the abstraction process, because you depend totally of the generative tool. That is the only thing I don’t like about AI tools… we as artists (I do illustration too), need the power of abstraction. There is nothing more beautiful than having the power to bring your ideas into drawings with just your hands.
