Composition in the age of AI: Who’s really framing the shot?

AI can’t physically move your arm to help frame a shot better (yet). But it can help you improve your composition after-the-fact. Getty Images A recurring theme with computational photography is the tension over creative choices. The “AI” features in cameras and photo editing apps can take over for many technical aspects, such as how… Continue reading Composition in the age of AI: Who’s really framing the shot?

You’re already using computational photography, but that doesn’t mean you’re not a photographer

A smarter camera just means more opportunities to concentrate on what matters most in photography: composition, lighting, and timing. Getty Images Maybe questioning my own intelligence isn’t the best way to kick off this piece, but if I’m going to write a column called “The Smarter Image,” I need to be honest. In many ways,… Continue reading You’re already using computational photography, but that doesn’t mean you’re not a photographer

Getty Images The most profound shift in photography since the transition from film to digital is happening now—and most people don’t realize it yet. That shift is computational photography,… Continue reading Computational photography explained – the next age of photography is already here
