Understand the difference between AI photography and live-action photography
AI photos and real photos、At first glance, they are similar in terms of "realistic appearance"。However, if you understand the production process and areas of strength and weakness,、The roles of both parties become clear.。Especially in the field of visual production.、What to leave to AI、It is important for the photographer to decide what to photograph.。
In this article、While paying attention to the differences in the production process、Characteristics of AI photography and live-action photography、Strong and weak areas、We will also discuss the limitations of generated visuals.。
Differences in the production process between AI photos and live-action photos
Live-action photo production process
Live-action photography is the act of a photographer capturing "light, subject, and space" through a camera on-site.。The production process can be organized as follows。
- Planning/concept design
Purpose of shooting、Expression intention、Determine brand integrity。 - On-site shooting
The camera actually captures the subject and environment.。people and buildings、The “reality” of scenery etc. is ensured.。 - Editing/retouching
Color correction and composition adjustment、Removal of unnecessary elements, etc.、Edit according to the expressive intent。
In this process、Reality, on-site nature, and proof of the existence of the subjectis guaranteed、Directly linked to brand trust。
AI photo production process
on the other hand、AI photos are generated by inputting text and parameters to AI.、It is the act of generating an image.。The production process is as follows。
- Concept/instruction design
Clearly document the image you want to express。 - image generation
Generates an image based on the information learned by the AI model。There is no reality、Can express realistic textures and compositions。 - Fine adjustment/mass production
Generate multiple patterns and make detailed corrections as necessary.。
AIは、Doesn't have to be a specific person、Visuals that require mass production and replacementWe will demonstrate our strengths in。
Areas where AI photography is good and weak
specialty area
- Visualization of abstract/conceptual images
- Mass production/replacement of multiple patterns
- Advertising materials and SNS posting visuals that allow image sharing
areas of weakness
- Accurate reproduction of real people and places
- Visuals that are directly linked to brand trust
- Shooting where physical environment and on-site characteristics are important
Limits of generative visuals
AI photo is、I am good at expressing realistic textures and compositions.、Does not have real-world proof power。for example、Visuals that prove the existence of events or people in a specific place are、It doesn't work with AI。Also、From a legal and ethical perspective、The value of live-action photography remains important。
Points for practical judgment
At the visual production site、Consider the use of AI and live action based on the following criteria:。
- Is reality necessary? → Photographer shooting
- Mass production/replacement/multi-pattern development? → AI generated
- Do you need brand trust or legal certification? → Live action
- Is it an abstract/conceptual expression? → AI generated
like this、Division of roles by production processThe point of view、The most practical photo production in the AI era。
summary
AI photos and real photos、Both are "the act of creating a single visual."、There are clear distinctions between good and bad depending on the purpose and conditions.。Live-action photos when on-site performance and brand trust are required、AI photography is effective for mass production, replacement, and abstract expression.。
Judgments at the production site、Rather than viewing AI and photography as antagonists,、Divide roles in the production processis the key。
