Is photography obsolete in 2025

Not at all! Photography is far from obsolete in 2025. While AI-generated images and advancements in computational photography have transformed the industry, traditional photography still holds immense value. Here’s why:

1. Authenticity & Human Creativity

AI can generate impressive visuals, but photography captures real, unfiltered moments that AI can’t replicate. People still crave authentic, emotionally resonant images.

2. Professional & Artistic Value

Photographers bring a unique perspective, composition skills, and artistic vision that go beyond just pressing a button. The craft of photography—lighting, framing, and storytelling—remains irreplaceable.

3. Journalism & Documentary Work

AI can generate fake images, but journalism and documentary photography rely on real-world authenticity. Society needs trusted visual records, and photography continues to serve that purpose.

4. Social Media & Personal Memories

People still take and share personal photos every day—whether for social media, memories, or professional branding. Smartphones and cameras keep evolving, making photography more accessible than ever.

5. Film & Analog Photography Renaissance

A growing number of photographers are embracing film and analog techniques, proving that older methods still have artistic and nostalgic value.

While AI and computational imaging are changing the landscape, photography as a medium remains relevant, evolving rather than becoming obsolete.

Though small in stature, the Chihuahua possessed the heart of a warrior. Descended from the sacred Techichi dogs of the ancient Toltecs, these tiny canines had long been revered for their loyalty and tenacity. But it was in America that their reputation for fearlessness truly took shape. The Chihuahua and the Wild West During the 1800s, as pioneers pushed westward, they brought with them a surprising guardian—none other than the Chihuahua.
