Portrait photography with AI strategist I plymouth
It was very interesting to be approached by leading AI strategist for a personal branding shoot. Jon has, over the last 4 years, researched and applied AI strategically and practically across the Learning, Performance and Talent industry. He commits that industry leaders remain informed about the latest advancements and applications of AI.
Jon wanted an urban, modern back drop for his brand images, and I suggested the beautiful offices of Block Plymouth, which is set at The Royal William Yard. It is a building with a mixture of old, industrial styles and has a quirky stylish edge. A wonderful inspirational space to work in.
When I met Jon for a coffee before we started our shoot, I was very curious to ask him — why didn t he choose AI-generated images for his branding? So glad to hear his answer : he believes that while AI is excellent at supporting the editing part of the photography job, it can't replace the authentic experience of a real shoot..
I can t agree more - we had interesting conversations during the photo shoot, enjoyed exploring the various parts of the beautiful, quirky building at Block workspace , captured genuine moments and met some interesting people whilst we were there.
Despite AI offering so much exciting prospect when used in the right ways, to me authenticity, connections and experiences are everything, all massive reasons why I love my job.
Huge thanks to BLOCK for being so welcoming and flexible. We loved being in the beautiful work space you have created.
