How we think about removing distractions can impact our images

In this episode of the Perceptive Photographer Podcast, I dig into the topic of distractions in photography, focusing on not just the technology of AI generative tools that remove unwanted elements from images, but how we think about distractions in our work. These new tools have impressive capabilities and their potential impact on a photographer's approach to composition can't be easily dismissed. Yet, the philosophical and ethical considerations of manipulating photographs always seems to boil back up to the surface. So in this episode, I digress into how we think about a distraction when we notice a distraction and the importance of being present during the photographic process.
