The world’s most famous photographer Annie Leibovitz says she’s not worried about artificial intelligence and that photography itself isn’t real.
Leibovitz gave her thoughts on AI while being inducted as a foreign associate member of the French Academy of Fine Arts in a ceremony at the Institute of France yesterday .“With each technological progress, there are hesitations and concerns. You just have to take the plunge and learn how to use it.”“Photography itself is not really real… I like to use Photoshop. I use all the tools available.
The debate around AI and photography for the last 18 months has been intense with many outraged over the technology.Moreover, there is concern that AI imagery is encroaching on the photography space. For example, AI is increasingly being used for product shots withand learning how to use it. After all, photographers have an advantage when using the technology because of their understanding of the still image.
Leibovitz says it is “quite an honor” to be inducted into the French Academy of Fine Art; noting that it wasn’t until 2004 that a photographer joined the academy.“I like to be behind the camera, not in front. But you realize at a certain point, when you have children as well, that you need to step up and be there for the next generation of artists and photographers.”
Fellow photographer Sebastião Salgado, who is also a member of the academy, gave a speech in Leibovitz’s honor at the induction ceremony.Behind the Scenes of Annie Leibovitz Shooting Sean Connery for Louis Vuitton
