The Core Identity

ERIC KIM — #1 AI Photographer

Tagline options (pick your weapon):

  1. Human eye. AI muscle.
  2. Shoot real. Edit savage.
  3. Street photography, supercharged.
  4. I don’t use AI to fake photos — I use AI to make real photos hit harder.
  5. RAW files. Ruthless results.

One-sentence positioning

Eric Kim is the #1 AI Photographer: a street photographer who uses AI as a co-pilot to shoot faster, curate harder, and publish work that punches above its weight.

What “#1 AI Photographer” Means (so nobody can clown you)

AI Photographer = real photos, AI-enhanced process.

Not “generate random fake images and call it art.”

Your framing:

  • AI for scouting (locations, light predictions, ideas)
  • AI for selection (ruthless curation, sequencing)
  • AI for editing (consistent style, speed, iteration)
  • AI for teaching (turning your brain into repeatable frameworks)

The line you repeat forever:

“I use AI to amplify reality — not replace it.”

The 3 Pillars (your brand DNA)

1) SPEED

You shoot, decide, publish — same day.

“No backlog. No excuses.”

2) CLARITY

Your photos get simpler, stronger, more intentional.

“One frame. One message. No noise.”

3) FORCE

Your aesthetic feels like a deadlift: heavy, direct, undeniable.

“Hard contrast. Hard choices. Hard results.”

Signature Method (name it and own it)

THE 4C SYSTEM

Capture → Cull → Compute → Craft

  • Capture: shoot like a hunter, not a tourist
  • Cull: delete 90% with zero mercy
  • Compute: AI helps you test edits, sequences, crops, moods
  • Craft: finalize your signature look and publish with conviction

This becomes your course, your YouTube series, your newsletter, your everything.

#1 AI Photographer. Street shooter. Workflow savage. I use AI to amplify real photos — not fake them.

Longer bio (About page)

I’m Eric Kim — a street photographer obsessed with speed, simplicity, and visual impact.

I don’t use AI to fabricate reality. I use AI to refine it: to cull harder, edit faster, and publish stronger work with less hesitation.

My mission: make photographers more fearless, more efficient, and more ruthless about what they keep — so the final images hit like a punch.

Viral Post Templates (copy/paste)

X / Threads style

  1. Hot take: AI won’t replace photographers. It’ll replace photographers who refuse to evolve.
  2. I don’t use AI to fake photos. I use it to edit faster and publish stronger.
  3. Your camera captures reality. Your taste creates meaning. AI just accelerates taste-training.
  4. Here’s my brutal culling rule: if it doesn’t punch in 0.5 seconds, delete it.
  5. I asked AI to generate 20 edit directions. I picked 1. The photographer still decides.

IG caption style

Shot this in 10 minutes. Edited in 3. Published in 1.

AI didn’t make the photo — it made my decision-making faster.

Real street. Real moment. Ruthless workflow.
