AI and The Future of Photography.

The future of photography and AI is a complex and fascinating topic. As engines like Midjourney continue to advance, the photography industry will undoubtedly be transformed in ways that we are just beginning to understand. While there are challenges to overcome, the harmonious convergence of AI and photography has the potential to usher in a new era of creativity and innovation, as long as we remain mindful of the ethical implications and the importance of human expression.

NYC

 
 

The city of New York is perhaps the most promising for street photography among all places. As well as being a melting pot of vast diversity, this city is a butcher shop of souls. Perhaps the visual shock will become normal after spending more time there, but I would love it if that normal were a part of my life. In contrast, the charm of the town could be a concern for photographers. You might end up copying the photos taken by great photographers of the past since it looks like a photography museum. Nevertheless, it always offers something new; it is a place that grows more rapidly than anything else on earth. Spend some time there, but don't stay.

Real Life photography

I believe that real-live photography needs to find its niche in this zeitgeist, even though nowadays anyone can carry around a camera in their pocket. That fact should not destroy real-life photos; the concept of capturing life should prevail, especially in these different times. In reality, it is no longer the same as in the past, when many photographers had only cameras. Cameras on mobile phones have completely changed the culture and the aspect of how we perceive photography. We all know It is a different world. But technology is there only to serve a purpose, to assist everyone in taking great pictures.

Real-life photography more closely resembles a frozen moment that could be caught on any camera. There is much more to real-life photography than technology. It is a declaration of existence, a situation where we can halt time and document an event that seemed unimportant shortly before it was captured. With the help of capturing it, we give the most ordinary moments a whole new reality. It is lovely to share our commonality and individuality, which do not always require some spectacular event, but much more than the everyday experiences of ordinary life are great. As a result, we need to put ourselves into that document. As if the trigger click pierces our body directly, releasing a piece of our personality through our compositions. That beautiful ordinary moment is our signature.

MIAMI

Perhaps the sun, the night, the diversity, the luxuries, the poor, and all other aspects of contrast, Intermingled. The architecture has everything from skyscrapers to art deco as well as all kinds of eclecticism. There are no dull moments, even though all the mash-up. While there is indeed a certain amount of kitsch, it serves an essential purpose and is a quid pro quo for street photography.

Miami Beach

It is a place where people join street exhibitionism. Yet, there are corners and angles full of nature. 

Most importantly, all the immigrant cultures can live their lives as they wish in this place. Culture is imported to large cities, but the city also takes charge of the rest.  An example is New York, which imports culture, but is in the shadow of the Big Apple. Almost every quoter in New York is a New Yorker, whether they are Italian, Jewish, or Irish. To illustrate, If you end up in the Jewish part of New York, that is definitely a Jewish part that belongs to New York, it is authentic, but it cannot be a part of Jerusalem or any other Jewish area in the world.

Miami, however, allows all cultures to breathe their own way rather than exist beneath the shadow of the city.  When you're in places like Little Havana in Miami, it seems like you've lost contact with the United States. 

Some details like a police car or a sign may jolt you from your oblivious Cuban dream. However, the journey is quite different. 

Little Havana

In addition to Little Havana and Cuba, Miami has much more to offer about different cultures. Yet, despite having the flavour of a Latino city, (Spanish is the predominant language) It is much more than that. Brilliant landscape for a real-life photography..

Miami has a lot of stories to tell.
