In the face of photography’s ongoing development, adaptability which is a part of being up to date is the key element to success and expansion of the creative vision. The invention of one such thing that the photographers all over the world have used is the concept to combine photos through AI, where Stable Diffusion model and ComfyUI GUI facilitate it. This way of image making allows the photographers to uncover the unexplored aspects of creativity and as a result, create original works of art.

The ComfyUI combines the images to bridge into one image thus allowing photographers to explore the visual narratives which will be their own unique ones. Through the merging of their unique pictures, photographers imbue personal qualities such as, individuality, point of view, and narrative aspirations to every shot. Through applying these personal and unique elements their work stand out as a specific way from others that exist online.

The uniqueness of these works is in their existence, as they are cannot be reproduced by anyone. Unlike the easy combination of photos anyone can produce, the connection between an actual photographer of an image and the chosen AI settings results in effects that are in a way uniquely tied to the original artist. It means that the author’s individual collection of pictures is the core of his work, making each masterpiece a flagship of his sure artistic sensibility and skill.

In any case, AI should not be regarded as an enemy to the achievements of a photographer but rather as a catalyst to heighten creativity levels. The shift from analog to digital photography was like cracks in the ceiling leading to other paths of creative expression, and the fusion between AI provides us with fresh openings and challenges which can enable us to grow as artists.

Yet, if we hold on to the old way, chances are that we will miss out on new opportunities and our process will be static. With technology being a constant factor of change, being able to adjust to such a dynamic setting is very crucial for staying relevant in such a drastically evolving sector. The main danger that photographers who refuse to use AI is that they will end behind as art world is more rapidly going into the digital age.

As a matter of concluding, humanity is currently experiencing an unprecedented revolutionary movement in photography. The emerging technology of generative AI including models like Stable Diffusion can set new notions of photographic art and bring out distinctive craftsmanship amongst photographers in a digital landscape. The rejection of this evolution is a sure sign that you will have been left behind in a world that is in constant flow of creativity and innovation. The future is yours. Be open and let your inspiration thrive.

Some of my experiences as a photographer with Stable Diffusion model are available in OmniFlix and Objkt market as NFT. All of them were created by combining the photos I took and using ComfyUI.

I was never there but my imagination was there and in the future too!
