   A.I. in Photography? How To Keep Creative Control | Guest: James Broadbent, Narrative CEO & Founder

   Are you worried that using AI will take away the creative control and authenticity of your wedding photography? In this episode of Shoot Bigger, Dan and Laura sit down with James Broadbent, the founder of Narrative, to discuss why they switched their workflow from Imagine to Narrative. They dive into the philosophy of AI in photography, discussing how to use AI to speed up your culling process without losing your unique style or personality in your photos.
