Ryan demonstrates two techniques that redefine what a photographer can do with existing images: recreating the classic Matrix-style bullet time effect using just two cameras in tandem with the latest in AI generation tools, and using AI to manipulate imagery in previously impossible ways, changing the lighting of an image, removing or adding elements, and even turning a still photograph into a layered, animatable video element faster than ever. His philosophy throughout is the same: input real imagery to enhance with AI, never generating from scratch.
A forward-looking conversation on how photographers and creatives are incorporating AI into their work, exploring the creative, ethical, and practical dimensions of a technology that isn't going anywhere. Grounded in curiosity rather than fear, the panel aims to leave attendees more informed and more empowered.
