Digital and AI Photography
Digital, and AI Photography presents a comprehensive view of computer-based methods for the production and manipulation of photographic imagery. The course is divided into two sections.
Digital Photography
The first section on Digital Photography presents thorough coverage of the fundamental principles and techniques of digital photography, whether using a DSLR or mirrorless camera or even just your cell phone. Generative AI approaches to producing photographic images depend on knowing a lot of the technical and conceptual background of traditional photographic techniques, and so this knowledge is essential even if your ultimate goal is to make images primarily with AI.
AI Photography
The second section on AI Photography explores applying all of the fundamental concepts in the Digital Photography section towards effective prompt writing to produce photographic imagery using AI platforms such as DALL·E 2 and Stable Diffusion. AI prompt writing depends heavily on precise terminology to describe exact features you want the AI to work with, so this section provides a way to revisit core Digital Photography concepts in a new context.
