Creatives WithAI: Through Her Lens: Where Photography Meets AI with Tigz Rice
What happens when a talented illustrator's journey comes to an end and that same creative person finds something even more powerful on the other side? In this episode of Creatives WithAI, host Lena Robinson is joined by Tigz Rice, an award-winning empowerment photographer whose career began in the world of illustration and design before she pivoted into photography through the sparkling, vibrant world of burlesque.
Tigz shares her journey from designing on the page to capturing confidence through the lens, using her signature editorial style to help clients reconnect with their bodies, embrace visibility, and show up unapologetically, whether they are photographed on a stage, in an artistically inspired location or simply in a LinkedIn profile picture. She also dives into how AI is naturally integrating into her creative workflow, from Adobe’s smart editing tools to generative features that speed up production without compromising authenticity.
This conversation goes beyond the tools, exploring the nuance between honesty and aspiration in self-image, and how AI raises questions about creative ownership, ethical usage, and digital trust. Tigz also offers a powerful perspective on the importance of creative choice, arguing that fantasy and realism both have their place, as long as the individual is in control.
