A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

AI facial recognition and deepfake development are ruining documentary photography. What should we do to protect our subject while still preserving their beautiful moment? (alien.top)

I really need you guys opinion on this matter. I took a lot of candid moments; some I will keep secret till everything becomes history, but some I really wanted to share now.

If anything, AI images will lead to raising the bar for good photos since with AI, anyone can get a competent looking generic image with minimal steps. It's when you're looking for a specific style, composition and pose that you need to prompt engineer or even use controlnet which is quite hard and at one point it becomes easier to use a camera to get a desired shot.

So photographers would need to put more thought into their work to make it stand out but if you have studied the styles and know what you want to convey, you will be fine.

I'm a big fan of inpainting as it can really save a lot of manual work from Photoshop.
