Hello #BlueSky! My name is Edwina and I am a freelance NYC based photographer. Here are a few examples of my photography work and more is available at my website thisisnotaphotograph.com. I also have a monthly newsletter and share new work via this account too.
Sabrina Ionescu during the New York Liberty Championship parade in Manhattan in October 2024. Her arms are outstretched to the sides, she is similing while wearing a black Nike jacket with her own shirt underneath that says “Yerrnescu.” There is white confetti on the left side of the image and people standing on the float behind her. Photo of Chlothagod performing at Knockdown Center in Maspeth, NY. She is leaning over while performing while singing and looking in the camera’s direction. The arm that isn’t holding the microphone to her face is in the air. She has long braids, a yellow short and light blue jeans. I used a PrismFX lens Halo filter so there are swirling circular lights around Chlo. Portrait of Pom Pom Squad (the musician Mia Berris). She is pulling her black sunglasses downward on her face while her other hand us resting on her hip with fingers outstretched. She is wearing a light blue dress and standing in front of the arcade game Street Fighter Turbo. Another game, Ms. Pac Man, can be seen in the background. Photo of Jarvis Cocker of Pulp. He is bathed in red light while wearing a velvet like jacket, black rimmed eye glasses, and is holding a microphone to his mouth. The other hand is outstretched, palm facing upward towards the camera.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
