VSCO report says 80% of photographers use AI tools

VSCO published a report on April 10, 2026 examining how photographers perceive, adopt, and use artificial intelligence tools. The report covers responses from both professional photographers and photography enthusiasts, and says 80% of surveyed photographers use AI tools in their workflow.

VSCO said the report focuses on how photographers actually use AI rather than only how they feel about it. The source excerpt does not provide the survey sample size, fieldwork dates, country breakdown, or a detailed list of the AI tools and use cases covered in the report.

The report adds to a broader set of industry research tracking how creative professionals use AI in image editing and production workflows. In the photography market, AI features now appear across editing, selection, and enhancement tools, but the source provided here only identifies VSCO and does not name competing platforms, standards, or device makers.
