THIS WEEK ON A SMALL VOICE PODCAST MEMBER-ONLY EPISODE...
Last week's guest Tomasz Tomaszewski returns to tackle the bonus questions.
This week's sample question:
How do you feel about the emergence of AI on the world of image making? What impact do you think it might have on photography and photographers?
"It already does. But I wouldn’t call it intelligence. It’s algorithm. And I think a human brain will always be able to come up with the picture frame in a way that will be more intruiging than any artificial algorithm. But I feel a danger because it’s an easy tool. You don’t have to involve thinking, you just have to master a tool. But it takes stuff from a closed set. Your brain is using an unlimited set of information, even if you don’t really recognise it."
Tomasz's picks for...
Significant photobooks:
Josef Koudelka, Exiles
ALSO...
The Sony World Photography Awards 2025 exhibition opens at Somerst House here in London tomorrow (April 17th). I just got back from the press preview and there is some excellent work on show. Details are embargoed for now so I will have to say no more.... Except that this year's Oustanding Contribution to Photography award gos to Magnum stalwart, Susan Meiselas, who has a good sized chunk of the space deditcated to her work over many years, from the seminal Carnival Strippers to much more recent projects.
