Lashah Studios Podcast: The Art of Photography & AI (Integrating AI into the creative craft and the business of photography)
For three seasons, this show lived inside the camera bag: Fujifilm GFX medium format, the Panasonic Lumix L-Mount system, lenses, sensors, and real-world shooting. The cameras haven't gone anywhere. But the biggest change in photography right now isn't a sensor. It's artificial intelligence. Hosted by Marcus Lashah Walker, a professional photographer since 2006, NPPA member, and Capture One Certified editor, each episode explores two sides of the same craft. On the creative side: AI-assisted editing, culling, masking, noise reduction, composition feedback, and where the line sits between enhancing a photograph and inventing one. On the business side: using AI to run a leaner studio, from client communication and proposals to marketing, scheduling, pricing, and building your own tools. This is not a show about letting software take photographs. It is about photographers staying in charge of their vision, protecting their work and their clients, and using new tools with intention. Whether you shoot boudoir, portraits, weddings, street, or photojournalism, you'll leave each episode with something you can put to work. The camera is still just a tool. So is AI. The art is still yours.
