Unbelievably, only 1-2% of photographers using Lightroom are taking advantage of AI right now.
After this conversation with James Broadbent - wedding photographer and founder of Narrative - I’m convinced that’s going to change.
We talk about how Narrative’s tools (Select, Edit, and Publish) are helping photographers get their time back, reduce burnout, and actually enjoy their creative process again.
James shares how the AI learns your unique editing style, why resistance is normal, and what happens when you stop fighting your tools, and start working with them.
This episode will definitely open your eyes to what’s possible.
