Shoreshot, Hauraki Coromandel Photographers Series.

Mua Raud, turning towards what is real.

In a world that's rapidly becoming reliant on AI tools from everything from spaghetti bolognese recipes to generated brand images, I find myself surrounded by the fear of being replaced.

We're living in a time of very big changes, and it can be intimidating in many ways.

However, I've never been as sure about the importance of my art and work as I am today.

I've found myself affected by the AI transition not in a fearful way, but in choosing to go in the opposite direction, to be more human, more real, and more authentic.
