AI and Photography: A Tool or a Threat to the Real Image?

By Frederik Enneman

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left a deep mark on many creative fields, and photography is no exception. Where photography once depended on light, timing, patience, and human presence, we now see a wave of imagery born without a camera, without a lens, without a location. Created entirely by algorithms.

As a photographer who captures real people, places, birds, and spontaneous moments, I ask myself: What does this mean for us? Is AI a helpful assistant, or does it threaten the very essence of what photography is about?

The Future of Photography with AI

The future of photography will likely be hybrid. AI won't replace photography, but it will change it. We’ll see photographers using AI as a tool for editing, storytelling, or even generating ideas. And at the same time, we may witness a growing hunger for authenticity—a return to the truth of unedited moments.

I believe a new category may emerge: authentic photography. Images that are celebrated not only for what they show, but for how and where they were made. Maybe we’ll value transparency—photos with metadata, GPS, even behind-the-scenes proof.

In the end, human vision will remain essential. Emotion, timing, intuition—these can’t be simulated.

In Conclusion

AI is changing the landscape of photography forever. But it won’t erase real photography. If anything, it will force us to look more closely, to create more intentionally, and to appreciate the raw, imperfect beauty of the real world.

For those of us who live behind the lens:

“As long as truth exists, real photography will endure.”

TRAVEL BALI  2025

This time, I did something different. Instead of hopping from place to place, I choose to stay—in Bali, for at least two months. And it’s been one of the most grounding decisions I’ve made in a long time.

Travel used to be all excitement, but lately, the logistics—the airports, the check-ins, the rush—have become more exhausting than exciting. So I stopped. I gave myself time.

With that time came space: space to breathe, to notice, to appreciate. I started photographing birds, something I’d always wanted to do but never really had the patience for. I walked the sawah, the quiet rice fields, often alone, often in silence. I wandered into temples and was fortunate enough to witness local ceremonies—moments filled with colour, sound, and soul.

There was no itinerary. Just daily life, lived slowly. Bali welcomed me not as a tourist this time, but as someone who stayed long enough to listen. And in doing so, I found a deeper kind of beauty. 

There is more than talk about me or my work at BUY FGEPHOTOGRAPHY

For instance, what will be the next destination this year or next year? My latest trip is now from Kuala Lumpur. Read my special story on this blog about my latest.
