  • Exposed - AI, Photography, and the Collapse of Trust (Part 1)

    Exposed - AI, Photography, and the Collapse of Trust (Part 1)
    Feb 26 2026
    “A single AI image of the Pope in a designer puffer jacket didn’t just go viral — it revealed something worse…”A single AI image of the Pope in a designer puffer jacket didn’t just go viral — it exposed how quickly authenticity can collapse when the internet is flooded with convincing fakes. In the age of AI photography, “seeing” isn’t believing anymore. It’s step one of verification.In Part 1 of this two-part series, Bad Photographers traces the long history of image manipulation — from spirit photography and staged “fairies,” to propaganda erasures and Photoshop — and explains why today’s synthetic media is fundamentally different. This isn’t only editing reality. It’s manufacturing photo, video, and audio from scratch, at scale — powering deepfakes, identity hijacking, and misinformation / disinformation that can outrun corrections.We break down what this means for photojournalism, public trust, and the role of images as credibility / evidence — because when audiences assume everything could be fake, the real danger isn’t that we can’t spot the lie. It’s that we stop trusting the truth.Part 2 explores what comes next: provenance, standards, and the tools (and ethics) required to rebuild trust after the collapse.Chapters00:00 The Evolution of Photography and Trust04:24 Historical Deceptions in Photography06:06 The Impact of AI on Visual Truth07:57 The Consequences of Misinformation10:13 The Collapse of Trust in Imagery11:13 The Future of Visual Media15:59 The Ethical Dilemmas of AI18:14 The Role of Photography in Society20:02 The Fight for Authenticity21:54 The Personal Impact of Manipulated Images23:18 The Call to Action for ChangeKey Reference LinksDurham, M.

  • BTS: Jon Cherry on Photographing January 6th and Living With the Aftermath

    BTS: Jon Cherry on Photographing January 6th and Living With the Aftermath
    Feb 19 2026

    Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist Jon Cherry joins Bad Photographers for an unfiltered, long-form conversation about documenting the January 6th Capitol Riot and living with the images that followed.

    Cherry takes us inside the chaos of that day, reflecting on what it meant to photograph history as it unfolded, the weight of responsibility that comes with bearing witness, and the emotional toll of covering political violence. He opens up about freelancing under pressure, the long road to healing after trauma, and how his career and personal life, were reshaped in the aftermath.

    This 2-hour episode goes beyond the headlines, pairing deep reflection with visual context from the day itself, to explore what happens after the photographs are made — when the cameras are down, the adrenaline fades, and photographers are left to process what they’ve seen.
