The two biggest names in the game are Squarespace and WordPress. They both offer paths to a professional-looking website, but they are fundamentally different tools designed for different types of users and goals. Making the wrong choice can lead to hours of frustration and a final product that doesn't truly represent the quality of your work. This isn't about which platform is "better" in a vacuum. It's about which platform is the right strategic asset...

The conversation around AI and creative work is deafening. It’s a mix of doomsday predictions and utopian fantasies, with most of it missing the point entirely. The real shift isn't about replacement; it's about a fundamental change in our role as creative professionals. Nowhere is this more apparent than inside Adobe Photoshop. For decades, it’s been the undisputed hub of our digital craft, a tool for meticulous, hands-on manipulation. But that's changing. Photoshop is evolving...

ChatGPT came out in November of 2022, but it didn’t really catch on until GPT 4 in 2024. But the viral “Studio Ghibli” moment in May of 2025 was when AI became truly mainstream, and creatives could no longer ignore it. We’re now on the heels of ChatGPT 5.1, and it’s more clear than ever: there are very real concerns about AI (replacing creatives, ethical issues, etc), but the fact of the matter is that...

You've probably seen people talk about "vibe coding." It was original coined by Andrej Karpathy as a tongue-in-cheek term, but it's caught on as a way to refer to the new style of software development where you let AI take the wheel. Essentially, you tell the AI what you want ("an app where I can upload a photo, it adds my watermark, and emails it to my client") and it will do the rest -...

The debate around website builders is a tired one, especially in professional creative circles. There’s a lingering sentiment, a kind of digital-era snobbery, that if you’re a “real” photographer, designer, or artist, you need a website that’s hand-coded, endlessly complex, or at least built on a platform that requires a PhD in plugins and updates to manage. The perception is that tools like Squarespace are for beginners, for hobbyists—not for serious professionals with a discerning...

Midjourney is incredible, full stop. With its v7 model and a polished web interface, it’s a creative powerhouse that has set the bar for quality and aesthetic. For a long time, it’s been the undisputed king of AI image generation (and still is IMO). But if you’re on a budget, it may not be an option when the “Mega Plan” is $1,152 a year. That said, if you’re a pro, you’re not just looking for...
