My wife has a clothing company. She used to pay $10K+ for a photo shoot in NYC (where you pretty much have to go to find models, studios, and photographers).
Now she has one of her friends stand in front of a white wall wearing the clothes and takes her photo with a cheap camera. She uses this ai app to replace the faces and fix the background. This is just catalog stuff for the website. Models posing around town is still more of a challenge.
Not a great future for the models, photographers, studio owners, even the hotels and flights that no linger need to be booked.
