AI isn’t coming for photography—it’s already here. And if your business is built on impressing other photographers instead of serving clients, you could be in serious trouble. In this thought-provoking episode, Ronan, Steve, Jeanine, and Jonathan pull no punches as they explore why being a “photographer’s photographer” is no longer enough—and what you must do to survive and thrive in the age of AI.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why clients don’t care about your technical perfection—and what they do care about.
- The story of Taylor Swift’s engagement photos and what it reveals about emotion vs. technique.
- How photographers accidentally create emotional impact (and how to do it intentionally).
- Why AI will replace technical photography—but can never replace human connection.
- How to future-proof your business by delivering experiences, not just images.
If you’re relying on style, gear, or awards to set yourself apart, this episode is your wake-up call.
