Should you use AI to generate your brand photos? In this episode, Samantha explains why AI-made images chip away at trust—and exactly how to use AI as a planning assistant instead (shot lists, mood boards, posing checklists) while showing up with your real life. Authentic photos connect; AI supports the process.
Key Takeaways:
Authentic, original photos typically earn more trust and engagement than AI-generated images.
Keep a “real moments” folder on your phone and repurpose across platforms.
Let AI help with shot ideas, poses, outfits, props, and color planning—not with fabricating locations or faces.
A simple DIY system (window light + self-timer + checklist) beats overproduced, inauthentic visuals.
