AI Didn't Kill Photography. But It Just Killed the Excuse to Stay Generic.

AI Didn't Kill Photography. But It Just Killed the Excuse to Stay Generic.

I had a client inquiry last month from a corporate brand looking for headshots. Their first question wasn’t about my style or my turnaround time. It was: “Can you do this faster than AI?” Not cheaper. Faster. That question sat with me for a few days because it told me exactly where some clients’ heads are right now — and it confirmed that the photographers who don’t get clear on their value are going to feel this shift harder than anyone.
