Today's episode features a discussion with Seattle urban and street photographer Sorin Dean (@sorin.dean). We chat about the future of AI and photography and whether its quick advancement poses a threat to our livelihood as photographers. We talk about how vertical photographs are becoming endemic and how we need to get back to shooting landscape orientation if it serves our photo or scene better. Sorin discusses how he goes about filming his catchy time-lapses. Lastly, we discuss how important it is to serve your own tastes rather than slaving away to Instagram's algorithm. We talk about how being a servant to the app can lead to the death of creativity.Thanks to Tamron Americas for sponsoring this episode! Their MARCH MEGA SALE is on now through until April 2nd 2023.
