Philosophy
In today’s world, where AI effortlessly generates images of breathtaking landscapes or photos that garner numerous likes on Instagram, there still remain aspects within photography that AI cannot replicate. I invite you all to contemplate what those might be.
In my perspective, the answer lies in capturing moments of genuine authenticity, where individuals remain unadorned and unaffected, or in the subtle snapshots of everyday life during travels. So, is there still a necessity to engage photographers for such endeavors?
For couples, capturing candid moments of natural conversation or gestures from a slight distance, which are difficult to achieve through selfies, remains a challenge. Yet, photographs that capture one’s natural demeanor, unlike pristine landscape shots, are unlikely to be replicated by AI anytime soon. Reflecting on my own world travels, I often find myself yearning for such natural shots, wishing I had someone skilled behind the camera to accompany me and capture those moments. MatchaPhotoJapan was born from such sentiments.
After all, a good photo isn’t solely defined by the number of likes it receives on Instagram. Let’s strive to capture images that linger in your memory, ones that bring happiness each time you revisit them.
