How we make art matters

The story behind a piece of art can be as important, if not more, than the piece itself. How we make art matters, a lot.

The one thing AI photographers will never have

Today, there's more and better photography being made every day than ever before. And this is only going to get worse with the rise of AI. Yet, I believe that photography as an art has a bright future, because there's one thing that only human photographers can offer, something you should start doing as soon as possible if you want to stand out among the noise.

Hint, don't show

I try to add as much mystery as I can in my images. I want them to be on the edge between reality and dreams, if you will: the viewer decides what they are looking at.

I often wonder if by sharing so much of my process (YouTube, Instagram stories...) I might be destroying part of that mystery.

Should I retreat into the shadows and share only the final image? Or should I keep sharing my journey as a way to inspire others?

I believe there's a balance to be found here as well: hint, don't show; inspire, don't keep it to yourself. You'll find me out there, looking for such harmony.
