An Australian Photographer Was Disqualified From a Photo Contest After Her Submission Was Mistakenly Deemed AI-Generated

An Australian photographer’s work was disqualified from a photo contest after being mistakenly deemed to have been generated by artificial intelligence.

Suzi Dougherty, an actress in the Sydney suburb of Waverly, had entered a photo contest run by the print shop Charing Cross Photo seeking to award the best local fashion photographs. She said she was “shocked” when she found out her photo was disqualified on suspicion it was created with AI

Dougherty called the mix-up an “honest mistake” and said he’s still an “avid fan” of the print shop, which he said was a “great little store.” Still, the

Kyle Weeks’ Resplendent Portrait of Ghanaian Youth Culture

Lead ImagePhotography by Kyle Weeks

The title of photographer Kyle Weeks‘ latest project Good news goes back to his childhood in Namibia, when he would watch his father react to the news. The “constant stream of negative stories” he observed about his home country and Africa at large prompted a simple question in his mind: “Why is there never good news?”

Several news organizations firmly denied on Thursday that they had advanced knowledge of the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, after a pro-Israel media watchdog group suggested that the freelance photographers they worked with had been tipped off.

HonestReporting, which says it is dedicated to “exposing and responding to inaccuracies or bias” in media coverage of Israel, published a report Wednesday naming four freelance photographers who it implied had advanced knowledge of the Hamas incursion because they had been well-positioned to photograph it.

While not directly accusing the news organizations, the group made insinuations of complexity. “What were [the

‘One in a million’ iPhone bridal photo explanation: blame panorama mode

Depending on how “online” you are, you may have seen a picture floating around socials with a strange quirk: a woman — comedian Tessa Coates — is standing in front of two mirrors in a bridal gown and, somehow, holding three poses at once . Coates insisted in his Instagram post that the picture wasn’t altered; it just came out that way.

So what happened? Was it a glitched iOS Live Photo (the iOS feature that takes short videos and picks out the best one)? A fake image manipulated with Photoshop? A brief glimpse into three different, parallel realities?

Nope,
