Painters usually start with a sketch, a visual working-out of an idea, a practice run, an experiment. They build from the sketch to the finished painting, step by step. The same can be said of poetry, theater, cinema, novel writing, most every medium I can think of. Photographs start with a fully realized image which the photographer then improves by modifying or eliminating things the camera sees in entirety. I'm fascinated by this difference in approach. I also think this is the main reason I'm resistant to AI photography.
