AI, Ethics, and Nature Photography: Questions and Attempted Responses

Is now the best or worst time to be a photographer? With digital cameras, sophisticated software, and the ease of sharing and distributing our work, the possibilities are endless. On the other hand, with a few prompts and clicks, AI-generated images can be produced that are almost indistinguishable from the work of our favorite photographers. Are we in a time of doom or a boom in creativity? Matt Payne and Beth Buelow will take on the topic from various angles, including general ethical concerns; what will keep photography relevant; AI's impact on creativity and doing business; and how to maintain the integrity of our work while leveraging available tools. We’ll explore a key question: when people say we need to, "adapt or die," how does a nature photographer "adapt" to AI without losing the core of what it means to be a nature photographer?

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! To help focus the conversation on what's top of mind for you, we want your questions about AI, ethics, and photography. We'll consider your submissions and do our best to respond during the webinar.
