Can photographers make use of AI in their business?

AI - Long time readers will not be surprised to learn that I have been investigating various tools, over the years this blog has shown, I think, that I am quite pro-active when it comes to using technology to streamline my workflow so that I can concentrate on what matters to me - making images. So what have I been playing with, how what have I learned so far?

Early morning Starlings

The way I plan to structure this blog this year is to post twice a week, on Monday and Thursday (as I did in the past). The Monday post should always feature thoughts, reviews, comments, etc., while the Thursday post will be mainly just a quick gallery of images.

Fujifilm GFX100RF – First thoughts

So I have had this camera for a week and a bit now, using it in a number of situations - for the self portrat challenge, some client shoots and a couple of premieres. I'm going to deal with the negatives first..

Self Portrait – Day 7 of 7

Finally !! Last one. As the reflector and window light is the most natural lighting, I stuck with this for the final image, choosing instead to use some of the features of the GFX100RF to change the result.

Self Portrait – Day 6 of 7

Self Portrait - Day 6 of 7 Back to the straight on image, shot down "length" of the office, but getting a little tighter (unflattering). Instead of going back to the flash and modifier, the plan here was to stick with the natural light (as it was actually during the morning), using a (smaller than yesterday) reflector to bounce the light back from the window to fill in the shadow.
