Client Wants to Add AI Detail to Photos
Our take
As a burgeoning photographer and stylist team, you face a unique challenge with a client request to enhance your recent hotel shoot by adding AI-generated greenery to the background. While your goal is to satisfy the client—especially as they are your sole interior client—there's a tension between authenticity and artistic enhancement. Given the client's expectations for a waterfront park view in early April, it's essential to weigh the implications of using AI against your commitment to authentic representation.
Hi all, my wife and I have started working as a photographer and stylist team and I'm looking for advice on how to respond to a client request to add Photoshop AI greenery to some trees in the background of a recent hotel shoot we did for them. On one hand, I want to make them happy as they are currently our only interior client with some beautiful properties to help build our portfolio, on the other, I feel weird about using AI to create an environment that simply did not exist after we've delivered the photos (which we all received well).
Mind you, they specifically requested shots with a waterfront park view, and scheduled the shoot in early April, so obviously, there would be no greenery yet. I am always happy to do a round of additional edits if requested as part of our agreement.
If the answer is shut up and just do it, cool. But we're still getting our feet under us, working with this specific client, so I'm wondering where this community stands and how you might respond.

- Do you think more "natural" editing will be in demand due to the influx of AI?Recently saw some professional photos someone had posted and I know they didn't use AI to process the faces, but the faces gave the same kind of vibes as AI. I also see similarities when the photo has the saturation dialed up or things just look too smooth. I had the thought that if I was paying for someone to take photos of my family, I would not be happy with them looking like that, even though I know that it's a stylistic thing and the photos would be considered good in most groups. Has anyone experienced clients asking for less processing or seen people taking more of their own photos and relying less on professional photography services due to AI? submitted by /u/x_Caffeine_Kitten_x [link] [comments]
- Additional imagesHi everyone, I am new to Reddit and hope this would be the right community to ask this question. I’m a portrait photographer and wanted to get some insight on how others handle this. I don’t offer RAWs as part of my workflow, and it’s in my contract. I also don’t send full galleries or proofs either. I hand edit all my images and deliver a curated set, but sometimes clients ask for more photos and want to see everything to consider purchasing additional images. When I let them know they can purchase additional photos at $15 each, they’ll ask how they’re supposed to choose if they can’t see what they’re purchasing first (logically I get it).** **I usually tell them I can take into account anything specific they’re looking for, but ultimately I’m the one selecting what’s added, and I try to make sure it still feels true to the session. But of course, not everyone is ok with that. Just trying to find the best way to handle that while still keeping my workflow and boundaries in place. Would love to hear what’s worked others submitted by /u/JayImages [link] [comments]
- Client wants me to share all my photos after I delivered what was stipulated.Hey everyone, I’m looking for some perspective from more experienced photographers on how to handle this situation. I recently shot a small civil wedding (about 2 hours of coverage which the were basically them signing papers in their house and eating/being gathered). Before the event, I clearly communicated in writing that the final delivery would be around 40 edited photos. During the shoot, I ended up taking around 500 photos total, which includes: bursts of the same moment test shots for exposure/framing duplicates shots where someone blinked, moved, etc. As expected, after culling and editing, I delivered a curated gallery of 60+ edited images (so actually more than what I initially mentioned). Now the client is questioning why they didn’t receive more photos, since they remember I mentioned I took around 500. They’re asking for access to all the photos, including the ones that weren’t selected. From my perspective: The final delivery is meant to be a curated selection of the best images The remaining photos are either duplicates, test shots, or not up to standard I don’t normally deliver unculled/unedited images as part of my workflow I did offer to: 👉 review any specific moments or people they feel are missing 👉 and include additional images if there are any worth delivering But I’m not comfortable sending the full unculled gallery. They look like garbage and it’s through editing that I make them look great (as they already said they were spectacular) My questions: How do you usually explain the difference between total shots vs final deliverables? Do any of you ever provide access to all images? If so, under what conditions? Would you stand firm here or handle it differently? Appreciate any insight — just trying to handle this professionally and also learn for future job submitted by /u/AjVine [link] [comments]
