Fire from Alessi / May 27, 2013 by Richard

Alessi's new "Sushi" celebrates the tool that produces one of nature's most powerful and admired elements: Fire.

Sleek, simple and fluid shapes, characterize an object full of collective-memory, comfort and beauty. Its body, colors and material combinations emphasize its domestic nature, reminding us of the warmth and emotiveness present in home-appliances since the 50's.

As a photographer navigating the AI era, we are confronted with numerous fresh opportunities and, at the same time, potential challenges. The question looms: can we not only survive but also harness the full potential of these new possibilities, especially with the advent of mega digital cameras in this emerging photographic age?

Certainly, AI tools have enabled enthusiastic individuals to craft a diverse array of captivating artificial images. However, the question arises: can these creators truly be called photographers? In my view, the distinction lies in the ownership of photographs and the associated intellectual property rights. This consideration has made me considerably more discerning in terms of what and how I choose to publish my images.
