AI cannot replace photography as many genres require on-field expertise. Photographers are essential for:

• Capturing real-life events (e.g., natural disasters, cultural festivals).
• Documenting authentic wildlife moments.
• Adding the human touch in studio shoots.

While AI may assist in areas like product and fashion photography, it cannot fully replicate a photographer's expertise, making photography a stable career choice.

One should go for a 3-year degree in photography instead of a short-term certificate course at SSVPA as it focus on specific photography genres. For example, a certificate in studio lighting will only teach studio techniques but may not cover concept development, practical application, advanced retouching, or marketing.
The BA in Visual Arts & Photography at Symbiosis Photography Institute offers a comprehensive curriculum covering all photography genres, including fashion, wildlife, star trailing, and more. It equips students with industry-level skills in concept building, studio setups, fine retouching, and social media marketing.
