CONTEXT COLLAPSE FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER

Published On: October 21, 2025Categories: Social Media

Photographer Noah Kalina posted a photo on Instagram’s Threads, which found favor with the algorithm and shown to a wider audience.

This led to “context collapse,” as most of that wider audience don’t know the work of Noah Kalina, so people assumed the image was made by AI, and that Noah was a bot.

I said “the big lesson here: don’t post anything ever,” in the YouTube comments, to which Noah replied, “the coolest people I know have zero internet presence.”
