SORA from OpenAI is pretty impressive and completely insane for the future. This is the WORST its going to be. Drone Pilots, Stock Video generation, photography are all going to suffer. Mostly commercial/professional photographer/videographers will be the ones most hit. Hobbyists will have a place still. Get angry, or adapt. Its coming quicker than anyone thought so right now educate yourself on AI and its uses. It may just save your job.

Big Studio Announcement:
Well everyone the time has come. I have been working on this for a while now. As of today, I am closing Joe Marino Photography Studio to the public. I have accepted a full-time job in IT/Cybersecurity with a local firm.
When?
What does this mean? I will finish up with the shoots I have booked currently. After that, I will CONTINUE doing photography but it will be for artistic purposes ONLY. If you are a model and still want to work with me I am totally down. Shoots will have to move to the weekend and my availability will be limited. I still am working on my rim light coffee table art book and other projects we started.
Why:
This has been coming for a long time. Covid wrecked my business. Being I was/is trying to be as safe as possible I was very selective about who I shot with. On top of that MANY of my past clients left me during the last 2 years. People that year in and year out would come to me for their family portraits just stopped. They would share their new photos all over social media and it really hurt. Running your own small business is incredibly hard.
What is next:
Well, I have NO plans on selling any of my gear. I still have some fun/exciting shoots to do. I may have some old props and backdrops I may be letting go of. I might just give them away to photogs that are just starting out.
Anyway.
There are some of you that supported me unrelentingly throughout the years and I love you. I love the clients that abandoned me as well, I get it. Thank you all for a wonderful 6 years of my dream. It's not over, it's just a different dream.
❤️ - Joe & Michaela
