I never use AI to create images or remove or add content. I do use tools such as denoise or dust removal in order to prepare my photos for display. This is standard practice by many professional photographers across all genres.

As a software developer, I view AI as a useful tool to help us achieve our goals more efficiently. However, I strongly oppose using it to replace human creativity or technical competency, and my photography reflects that philosophy. You can rest assured that my work is fully my own, flaws and all.

Well, except the photos of me shooting after sundown in Panama City, Florida. My mom snapped them with her cell phone, and I thought they were perfect for my website.
