Industry News Roundup and AI in Photography

Today we've got some industry news roundup via Jared Polin complete with his traditional “sarcasm above all else” approach. As an added bonus, we're treated to the reminder that technology companies out there are steadily working on AI programs that will eventually replace everything creative and useful about us.

If you've never seen a video from Polin before, know that his presentation style involves a healthy dose of sarcasm that can border on derision so if you see and hear something you don't like or agree with, don't freak out. The bit that most caught my attention obviously is the reminder that AI editing is coming whether we like it or not. While still arguably in its infancy, on some level or another I think a lot of us fear the day that a program can replicate exactly what we do behind the camera and behind the computer screen better than we ourselves can. No need to panic quite yet as the end is not nigh and we all still have jobs, at least for now. 

Drone enthusiasts, there is some information about the upcoming Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, chime in and let me know if this is something that you're excited about. I'll admit that I've been liking a lot of drone work on Instagram lately so I'm all for improvements in personal drone technology and performance. Which do you value more in a drone, image quality for stills or video quality? 

Evan Kane is a portrait photographer based near Seattle. He specializes in colorful location portraits with a bit of a fairy tale flair. Always looking to create something with emotion behind it, he fell backwards into photography in mid 2015 and has been pursuing this dream ever since. One if his mottos: "There is always more to learn."

What's wrong with Fro's fro? It's starting to sag. Age starting to impact you?

I think that Fro has started using Weird Al's hair stylist.
