A taco stand in Mexico. A real photograph taken on Portra 800 35mm Film and note editing. On this weeks Pro Photography Podcast… Are photos even real anymore.?
On this Professional Photography Podcast we talk about photo news, the Cine Still scandal, and what Ai is doing to photography. The conflicts in the world are showing how deceptive it can be and new tech like Content Credentials is making systems to know what we are seeing.
Real photos from real people not from AI and we need to start using that. I shoot film and make things like Filmist film presets to keep a grounded focus on that.
Real photos tell a story of a person place or thing. They are the nouns of images and they matter. Ai-generated images will never be real photos. That does not mean they are not a real part of the market now. Only that we need to understand the difference.
The same scene taken on a Fuji X100 and edited with the Filmist Portra 800 preset. Still real.
Videos and other important things mentioned on this show.
Cine Still responds to peoples anger with legal fluff.

Is it the end of the DSLR?
Gavs channel video about why you need to STOP using contrast.
Taken on film like this (Lokak Ultra 400), or on digital, it’s important to understand that the imperfections of real photos matter. Perfect is getting easy, real is getting hard.
