I think progessional photography is so wide as a definition that makes no sense. Product photography could be somehow replaced with AI, maybe, but not journalist photography at all. In fact, journalism photography is more importnat than ever with AI now.

Not AI related, cell phone camera related. Crushed the sector.

Professional photography is still expected to grow over the next decade. It’s a competitive field but hasn’t actually shrunk much.
