> if you were learning photography. would you still?

First of all, photography was never a profession I would have recommended a kid get in to lol.

I think it's likely we'll see fewer photography jobs, but the jobs that do exist will require more networking, higher skill, and come with better pay.

For example, in my area there's a surge of demand for weddings shot on film - durable physical memories of reality. Some folks even do daguerreotypes. Or in the other direction, we see "cinematic" weddings with video production teams.

Oh cinematic weddings would be so cool! My friends' wedding in NJ had drone shots and that was a great idea. Although I suspect it wouldn't be hard for Sora 2 / Veo 3 of the world to make.

That said, photography will probably remain a hobby for many. And people at the highest skill level will still be fine.

We need more authentic stuff hand-crafted to perfection.
