Emotion and aesthetics are core issues in AI interaction. This paper focuses on the problems of emotional expression and aesthetic practice in the deep integration of artificial intelligence and photography. Based on data collected by web crawlers, it explores the role of AI in artistic creation. Employing multimodal physiological theory for emotion recognition and integrating multi-case analysis, the study examines works and advertisements by Kaku Drop, Coca-Cola, and Mika Ninagawa to systematically analyze the interactive relationship between AI and human emotion/aesthetics. Findings reveal that while AI cannot replace humans as the primary agent in artistic emotional and aesthetic interactions, it serves as an efficient aesthetic enabler. AI can only truly integrate into the artistic aesthetic ecosystem when it serves human emotional expression, meaning pursuit, and value creation. This paper provides empirical insights for understanding the emotional-aesthetic boundaries and practical pathways of photographic creation in the AI era.
