Experts in Theatre Photography have expressed worry that artificial intelligence (AI) and new/emerging technologies will devalue the essence of their craft - which is the capturing of live images, and the magic of theatre.
In a chat with LEADERSHIP Books and Arts, founder, Theatre Exposed, an international theatre photography competition, Irina Averina said that just as in fairy tale where there is living and dead water, theatre photographers create off the immediacy of live theatre, as they seek to capture that one moment or moments that symbolize the entire process, theme of a particular production or its protagonist, compared to the AI-crafted images that are focused on the end-product.
