Photographers who approach AI with unrealistic expectations or blind adoption may unknowingly sabotage their own creativity, client trust, and long-term business success. In this episode of the Business of Photography Podcast, we break down how AI is changing the industry and what smart photographers are doing to stay ahead.

From AI editing tools to automated workflows, artificial intelligence can absolutely support your business—but only if used strategically and ethically. Today, clients value authenticity more than ever. Photographers who overuse or misrepresent AI in their work risk losing that trust.

That’s why it’s important to maintain your creative voice, understand the limitations of AI, and use tools that support (not replace) your artistry.
