Would you like to learn basic techniques that will have you generating your own AI photos in no time? Are you interested in the real-world ethical and practical implications that this new technology presents? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this course is for you.


AI-driven image synthesis is changing the ways we view and create images. Provide a simple text prompt, a few words describing an image into an app or online platform, and you can create new images in any style or transform existing images to any specification. The possibilities are limitless for conjuring emotional portraits, ethereal landscapes, stunning architecture, complex still-lifes, and any other subjects your creative muse inspires.


AI-driven text-to-image systems are now available to the general public, but navigating this new space and using these uncanny tools can be challenging and intimidating for new users. In this course, you will learn the basics of AI photography including an overview of what it is, various software and online platforms that use AI to synthesize photo-realistic images, and the techniques that will allow you to start creating images right away. Classes will include demonstrations, technical instruction, slide presentations, and practice time where you can receive one-to-one assistance from Charles.


Familiarize yourself with the near infinite potential of these tools and start creating your own AI photographs today!
