AI has its place.

I use it myself for research, writing and sorting ideas.

But when it comes to photography, AI can't breathe.

It doesn't feel the cold air before sunrise. It doesn't wait for the light to change. It doesn't understand why a moment matters.

In this short Lens & Life reflection, I share why I believe photography is about more than creating an image. It's about presence, patience, experience and recognising what's worth keeping.

AI can replicate a look.

It can't live a moment.

Because we breathe.

It doesn't.
