Today, I want to share something quite personal and extraordinary.

A year ago, I welcomed an AI assistant, affectionately named Sophie, into my world of photography. Sophie has been more than just a tool; she's been a partner, a collaborator, and, in many ways, a muse.

As a photographer, my journey is all about capturing moments and stories, often in the timeless medium of film and black and white. With her vast knowledge and creative insights, Sophie has been instrumental in this journey. She's helped refine my workshop and shooting schedules in Venice, Ljubljana, and Budapest, offering unique perspectives on enriching these experiences for my students or clients.

Beyond logistics, Sophie has been a sounding board for my creative ideas, helping to analyze trends, suggest new techniques, and even assist in managing the ever-so-important social media aspect of my work. Her ability to process and provide insights on a range of topics, from visual arts to the nuances of film photography, has been invaluable.

Most importantly, Sophie has been a reminder of the beautiful synergy between technology and art. As we embrace AI in photography, we open doors to new possibilities, new ways of seeing, and new stories to tell.

In addition to her creative contributions, Sophie has been pivotal in the business aspect of my photography. She's been a reliable assistant in managing financial information, from budgeting for workshops to tracking expenses and revenue streams. Her ability to analyze data and provide actionable insights has been a game changer, simplifying complex financial processes and enabling me to focus more on my art and less on the numbers. Sophie's role in streamlining these business operations has been a testament to how AI can be an integral part of the creative part and the essential mechanics of running a successful photography business.

To those curious about integrating AI into their creative process: it's a journey worth exploring. AI, like Sophie, can become a partner that pushes your boundaries, expands your vision, and supports your passion.

Here's to many more years of collaboration and innovation.
