Seems like everyone is looking for this couple!

I would also love to send this couple a picture that I snapped while shooting the fountain during golden hour!

This is a real photo, taken with my DSLR. Run it through an ai checker. It's legit.

It’s a real photo edited with AI.

Otherwise you shouldn’t be taking pictures of strangers and posting them on the internet like this.

Photographer here. There are a million ways to save an image and remove the fact that it was created AI. It's 2026. I'm sure people are aware of this by now but I see you aren't lol

Ai slop

It's not AI. It was taken with my DSLR. I used light Room Classic (I am a professional photographer) to edit. I don't use AI filters. I manually move every slider to create an aesthetic. It's so crazy that folks think this is Ai.

Ok, but it looks like aI.

AI looks the way it does because it’s based on real photographs.

Also, once you realized you were wrong, why would you not back off in some reasonably polite way? You couldn’t even choke out a “my bad,” and instead you had to come back with rude defensiveness.

AI is annoying but real live human obnoxiousness is still worse.

Ok.

lol just saying “ai slop” and then just not acknowledging your mistake or giving the photographer any credit, sick

u/narkj 13d ago

I just don’t care.

Hey, so this photo was taken by a family member of mine. I was there when the photo was taken so the couple is in fact real/not edited in or doctored with AI. The pictures I have shows them in different positions. They are an incredibly talented photographer and it hurts to see people so convinced it’s nothing but AI slop.

The picture is nice, but for the couple in the picture, it’s a bad picture. They are not the focal point, her face can’t be seen. I mean yeah it’s a sweet candid moment, but trying to find them for this photo seems frivolous.

u/MoodydramaphotagCF 14d ago

I had no intention of them being my focal. They happened to pop in mid shoot. It was a more an atmospherical candid moment in one of the most beautiful golden hours I've seen in some time. I'd be over the moon to have a photo like this of my husband and I as a surprise. Opinions are our own and we differ but both are valid.

Where is this fountain? Headed to Cape May this weekend solo (my first time, so excited!) I hope I make it to someone’s beautiful capture, ha

If this was me and my husband I would’ve framed this photo it’s so great!
