As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms visual media, understanding the boundaries between traditional photography, computational editing, and synthetic image generation has become essential. AI 202: AI Imaging, Photography & Video is a 90-minute, demonstration-based workshop designed to guide participants through the practical applications, workflows, and ethical considerations of modern conversational AI visual tools.
The session outlines the four foundational uses of AI in imaging: creation from text prompts, conversational photo editing, photographic enhancement while preserving subject fidelity, and historical restoration. Attendees will explore progressive prompting techniques for fine-grained creative control over composition, lighting, and style, alongside practical strategies for plain-language photo edits that bypass complex traditional software menus.
Beyond still imagery, the workshop discusses the hybrid relationship between traditional desktop editors (like Lightroom and Photoshop) and generative tools, outlines an end-to-end AI video production pipeline, and demonstrates the integration of AI-generated audio, studio-quality voiceovers, and custom background scoring. The session also discusses the ethical continuum of photographic truth, ending with a live interactive Q&A and an AI audio demonstration.
