Our Favorite AI Tools for Photographers
What We Cover in This Episode
✨ How to Use ChatGPT Without Losing Your Voice
Why ChatGPT only works well after you’ve built a clear brand foundation
(ideal client, tone, values, purpose, mission)
The danger of generic AI output — and how to avoid “copy-paste photographer internet voice”
How Amber created a custom ChatGPT trained on her messaging
Using AI to repurpose one strong message into:
IG captions + hooks
Email newsletters
Pinterest descriptions
Blog outlines
Sales page copy
How ChatGPT can deepen connection while maintaining authenticity
Why AI should amplify your voice — not replace it
✨ AI for Editing: Our Experience With Imagine AI
Marie’s workflow:
How Imagine edits her galleries in 15–20 minutes
Why she barely has to tweak anything anymore
Creating separate profiles (studio, outdoor, film stock)
The “secret sauce”: continuously feeding Imagine your refined edits so it learns your style
Amber’s experience:
Why Imagine didn’t work for her in the past — and what changed
The learning curve and how it handles tone curves + background masks
Where it excels and where she still fine-tunes things
Why it’s saving her after a huge tech issue this month
Key takeaway:
Imagine can drastically speed up your editing workflow and improve consistency — especially once your profile has been fully trained.
✨ Voto: AI Retouching That Saves HOURS
Marie’s go-to tools for newborn & family sessions:
Infant acne removal
Skin evening
Double-chin reduction
Hair frizz + flyaway removal
Eye catchlights
Amber’s approach:
Why she customizes a new “preset” for each client
Her favorite features: under-eye circle reduction, wrinkle softening, clothing de-wrinkle
What she uses sparingly to keep edits natural
How Voto saved a wind-blown lavender farm session
Why it’s the most user-friendly AI tool she’s tried
The biggest perk:
Magazine-quality refinements in minutes — without outsourcing a single image.
✨ The Future of AI for Photographers
AI tools are evolving monthly — and the industry is moving fast.
Marie & Amber share why learning these tools now gives you more freedom, more creative energy, and more time to deliver meaningful, elevated work.
