Photographers
Photography is a hybrid role where the physical act of capturing real-world events (weddings, news, portraits) provides a buffer, but the digital output is highly vulnerable to AI. Generative AI can now create high-quality commercial and stock imagery from scratch and automate complex post-production tasks, significantly reducing the billable hours and demand for professional photographers in commercial and creative sectors.
