He also shares the story of Europe Rising, a long-term travel photography project created in response to Brexit and photographed across Europe at sunrise.The conversation then turns to photography copyright, image theft and PhotoClaim, the company Nico co-founded to help photographers protect their work. Nico discusses licensing, copyright infringement, AI-generated imagery and why photography still matters in an increasingly synthetic visual world.Whether you enjoy landscape photography, architectural photography, videography or are building a photography business, this episode offers thoughtful creative inspiration and practical photography advice for photographers at every stage of their creative journey.Subscribe to The Camera Shake Photography Podcast for more conversations about photography, videography, creativity and the business of making images—and explore our related episodes for more insight from working photographers.#photography #travelphotography #NicoTrinkhaus #CameraShakePodcast******************************************************************Get Your CAMERA SHAKE MERCH: https://www.kerstenluts.com/camerashake-merch******************************************************************SUPPORT THE PODCAST: www.buymeacoffee.com/camerashake******************************************************************JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ******************************************************************Check out our sponsor: www.platypod.com******************************************************************THIS WEEK’S LINKS:CONNECT WITH NICO TRINKHAUSWebsite: https://sumfinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicotrinkhaus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NicoTrinkhaus/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicotrinkhaus/Fine-Art Prints: https://trinkhausfineart.com/PhotoClaim: https://photoclaim.com/X: https://x.com/NicoTrinkhausFlickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ntrinkhaus/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/nicotrinkhaus/Behance: https://www.behance.net/nicotrinkhausJOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ======================================CAMERA SHAKE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/camerashakeFULL EPISODE 324 ‘The Photographer Who Can’t Picture His Own Photos with NICO TRINKHAUS’ IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON: YouTube - https://youtu.be/rFKnwZhuRTYApple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2Y2Lmfm Spotify - https://spoti.fi/304sm2G ======================================FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastX: https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraKersten’s website: www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/

AI changed photography. Are photographers still needed—or does the human behind the camera matter more than ever?In this episode of Camera Shake, Kersten Luts welcomes back director, photographer and digital imaging specialist Micah Burke to take an honest look at the state of AI in photography. Four years after their first conversation, generative AI has moved from novelty to production tool, reshaping photo editing, retouching, compositing, graphic design and AI video.Micah shares workflows using Adobe Photoshop, Firefly, Stable Diffusion and generative video, while revealing where AI saves time—and where it creates extra work. They explore client expectations, brand consistency, copyright, computational photography and whether AI belongs inside cameras.The conversation also asks the bigger questions: Can we still trust an image? Will Photoshop and photography skills become more valuable? What can a human photographer offer that a generator cannot? And where are opportunities for anyone building a photography business?If you’re an amateur photographer, working professional, videographer or creative business owner, this thoughtful, funny and practical discussion will help you understand what is changing and how to adapt.
