from Camera Shake Photography Podcast

AI changed photography. Are photographers still needed—or does the human behind the camera matter more than ever?In this episode of Camera Shake, Kersten Luts welcomes back director, photographer and digital imaging specialist Micah Burke to take an honest look at the state of AI in photography. Four years after their first conversation, generative AI has moved from novelty to production tool, reshaping photo editing, retouching, compositing, graphic design and AI video.Micah shares workflows using Adobe Photoshop, Firefly, Stable Diffusion and generative video, while revealing where AI saves time—and where it creates extra work. They explore client expectations, brand consistency, copyright, computational photography and whether AI belongs inside cameras.The conversation also asks the bigger questions: Can we still trust an image? Will Photoshop and photography skills become more valuable? What can a human photographer offer that a generator cannot? And where are opportunities for anyone building a photography business?If you’re an amateur photographer, working professional, videographer or creative business owner, this thoughtful, funny and practical discussion will help you understand what is changing and how to adapt.
