Yes, I do — but with limits. I’m not interested in replacing skies, adding objects, or creating fantastical scenes that never existed. That kind of manipulation doesn’t appeal to me. I have used generative AI to remove things like a…

I’m not sure I have any grand advice, but a few simple things have stayed true for me over the years. First, the best camera for any scene is the one you have with you. Cell phones are real cameras…

Most of my photography relies on natural light. I prefer to shoot at the camera’s base ISO — many of mine are rated at ISO 64 — because it gives the cleanest possible file. That said, I’ve learned to accept…
