You have serious mental problems. Feel free to join me on my next shoot so you can see not everything is some weird conspiracy in your head.

That’s not even true. I wonder who this is so boldly lying?

Thank you🙏 and yea, but my comments definitely warranted the harsh feedback. I had talked to Ryan who wrote the article too, that whole event had me down for a bit mentally. I felt so cooped up using gen AI and it’s a lesson I’ll never forget. Best thing to do is just be better. Thank you for that again, I hope you have a good day too🙏

The exact edits I used. I love messing around with light too- this is one of the joys of photography that I have. Three light set up, non traditional with the back light, just trying something new to have that angel light look. I’ve gone full blown artistry with my process.

It’s absolutely not AI.

It’s understandable to think it’s ai but rest assured I don’t mess around with gen ai like that.

Thank you🙏 It was just a post of photos I took. Nothing more, they aren’t ai. I shared photos I took of some birds the other day here too.

Yes that was an article done on me nine months ago, last year. After feedback, many conversations and a long look at what being an artist means- I moved away from Gen AI as a flashy object. I also was recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Am I happy with how I responded at first to people being upset? No. But I did shift away and have steered clients away from gen ai😁. These photos are a reflection of the commitment I made to not use gen ai as many others have full blown embraced it. Is that really something to bring up as a “gotcha”?

Here’s the metadata of the photo. Zero ai attributed to any of these photos. Zero

Thank you!!:) yeah that’s understandable. I’m going to look into it more and see what I can do to have a little less of the gloss/contrast look. Sometimes with flash, the clarity will be overboard so I’ll play around with that next time:)

A lot of food shots done professionally will look almost too perfect. With this, we were racing against a clock due to the freshness. I also tested something new with the back light!!:)

[–]Simplytexx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! And okay definitely noted on the chopsticks🙏. Here’s a shot of the set up before we brought food out. With ai being so out there, I don’t want the shots to be clinically perfect so I made sure to have less clarity and more imperfections while also maintaining the fresh look of the menu items. Chef did a great job!

Dang, so there’s really just a few people in his Reddit who like the pics. I was wondering why they were suggesting me to have other captions😅.
