  • Episode 32: AI in Photography

    I had an email from the RPS about AI in photography. It was a bit weird, so I thought I'd talk about it.

    Your thoughts & opinions appreciated: [email protected]

    Questions:

    (Q1-4 are all "Yes/No/Maybe" choices)

    1. Do we need traditional photography if images created by AI are better and quicker to create than photographs taken by people?
    2. Do you consider AI created images to be real photography?
    3. Is it fair for AI algorithms to be trained using images without permission or payment for the original creator?
    4. Could AI imagery lead to a rise in fake news and lying?
    5. Which of the following best describes your view of AI for photography?
    Choices here are up to 2 from: An opportunity, Cautious, Dangerous, Excited, Fearful, Don't care.

  • Episode 31: Lesson 12 : Wrapping Up

    Just the final episode in the Lesson series for now. It's not worth me doing the Intermediate & Advanced courses as they contain a lot of reviewing of previous material which would be pointless when folks can just go relisten to the episodes.

    If you want the handouts that go with the course, drop me an email at [email protected]. They'll likely be £10 + postage.

    They're 48 page A4 softcover booklets with space for notes inside and follow the lessons as they've been published on the podcast.

  • Episode 29: Interview with Richard

    My first interview!

    It's not the best, engineering wise. Any experts in nailing down earth hums, please get in touch!

    This week I have a chat with long time encourager of the podcast, Richard Hall. Yes. After promising chats with ordinary photographers, I finally deliver. 3.5 years too late. Procrastinate? Me? Never.

    10 points and a pint to the first guesser of the Outro music. Unless your name is Richard.

    You can get in touch/see his work at:

    Twitter (or is it xcom baby?) : @richardhall

  • Episode 26 : Self-Doubt

    It's a bit whiny and self indulgent this week, so please don't listen if you're easily offended.

    tl;dl - I'm after some guidance on dealing with self-doubt, because I've got lots of it and want a bit less.

About The Ordinary Photographer

From the publisher's feed

A photography podcast bringing creativity to people who find it difficult. Film Photography will probably get talked about quite a bit, but creativity is gear agnostic.... Well, I think it is anyway.
