A photographer that won a top prize in the Sony World Photography Awards (SWPA) has refused to receive the award for his AI-generated image titled PSEUDOMNESIA | The Electrician.
Veteran photographer and artist Boris Eldagsen entered an AI-generated image into the Creative category of the competition. Eldagsen has been experimenting with AI images after enjoying a 20-plus year-long photography career and says that he was exploring the possibilities of AI.
The wait is finally over: The World Photography Organisation has announced the overall winners in the Sony World Photography Awards 2023. Like every year, the jury selected the winners in different categories and the overall winner of the contest.
The Photographer of the Year title has been awarded to Portuguese photographer Edgar Martins this year. His winning series Our War is an emotional homage to his friend, photojournalist Anton Hammerl, who was killed during the Libyan Civil War in 2011.
Sony World Photography Awards recently published the winners and shortlists of its Open competition. The photos are absolutely stunning, but there’s just one problem – the Creative category winner isn’t a photo at all. The winning image resembles a portrait photo from the 1940s, with a characteristic vintage, nostalgic feel. But on a closer look, you can spot the weird hands – one of the biggest weaknesses of text-to-image generators.
This case sparked some serious debate in the photo community. It also made me think about AI and its place in photography. Should AI-generated art enter and win photography contests? Is it fair? Are there legal issues? I wanted to discuss all of this and more in this article.
