>>4310415Yes. I just filed my taxes, so I proved it to the IRS. But in this venue, I’m not going to. So take it as granted and move on.
>>4310420It’s a background concern, a bit out of my control, so it doesn’t do me much good to worry about it. I just try to focus on improving the product I create, making real photos and films. I think there will still be a market for authentically produced imagery of humans, by humans, so I’m not overly concerned. Certain clients are going to make shit with AI rather than hire a photographer… but those were probably shit clients in the first place, so is that much of a loss? The market does suck right now, but you just gotta keep swimming.
If I were in micro stock or something, I might be freaking out, but that’s a field that’s been racing to the bottom for decades now, so the writing was already on the wall.
>>4310431I almost never shoot jpegs, I don’t have interns, and I don’t typically have wire service like deadlines, so no.
