What This Course Is
Over eight weeks, we'll explore the questions every photographer is asking right now: What can AI actually do, and what can't it replace? How do today's leading AI tools work, and how do we use them wisely?
You'll experiment with AI-assisted editing, restore and colorize old family photographs, generate images from your own words, share your work in new formats, and explore the emerging world of AI video. Along the way, we'll talk honestly about the questions AI raises for every photographer — ownership, authenticity, ethics, and creative integrity.
By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to decide for yourself where AI belongs in your own photography.
No technical background required. Curiosity welcome.
