Part I: trauma
- Decreases the value of the effort
Where once in the same frame can cost hours travel, sweat and waiting, AI now produces a thousand changes in seconds. The attempt once reinforced the image has ended with eyes. The story behind the picture ends. Only the level is left.
2. Body loss
The camera, once the body expansion – held, which was intended, was adjusted by the indicator. Photographers wrote their presence in the frame: in the motion Bloor, in the breath, in balance, in indicators. Ai knows no fatigue, no friction, no meat. It never does it without doing it.
3. Eliminating the process
Photography, for many people, was a ritual: observe, wait, shoot, develop, print. A rhythm AI completely leaves. The process is over. Only the output remains. The craft is different from the image.
4. From reality to possibilities
Once the pictures were considered a witness. Now, the pictures are just possibilities. AI does not document; It imagines. In fact, this is more than a medium -sized change. This is a change in meaning.
5.
The photographer becomes hidden. His eyes, his presence, his path – no longer matter. This profession, once built on vision and presence, swallowed from the indiscriminate output wave. It is no longer a crisis of tools. This is a professional crisis.
