This session takes a different direction from traditional photography talks. Rather than focusing on image critique or post-processing, the emphasis is on how emerging AI tools can support the creative process before you even pick up your camera.

Drawing on concepts from his book A Hundred Ways AI Can Help Photographers, Joe will explore how platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini can assist with ideation, research, planning and creative problem-solving.

The talk is audience-led; participants will help choose the areas explored during the evening. Joe will demonstrate different AI tools to see where they take us in ideating shots, shoots, and ways to approach your photography.

The emphasis is not on replacing creativity, but on expanding it through thoughtful use of technology.
