Bil Brown explains how his magazine work led him to a 15-year career as an agent, primarily for Amazon Fashion, where he managed over 600 photographers, stylists, and digitechs across multiple studios in several states. However, this relationship ended when he discovered Amazon was using his talent to train their AI, leading them to propose a "collab agreement" where he would pay them to hire his own talent, which he refused. Inspired by this, he's now taking a "vow of photography" to "make the world safe for photography" against AI, emphasizing the importance of content credentials in cameras like the Leica M11-P to prove authenticity, especially in light of controversial attribution issues like that of Nick Ut's iconic photo.
