As summer approaches we have only one remaining club meeting and that will be Tuesday, June 6th. Please plan to come out and see Pierre Houle, our president, present: Artificial Intelligence as it relates to Photography. In this presentation Pierre will talk about AI and how it has affected everything photographic. AI is in camera software, in post processing software. AI creates images from verbal descriptions. AI is used in developing cameras, lenses, and accessories. AI enhanced images are everywhere. Is this photography? It is certainly art…Human art enhanced by computer intelligence! He will give examples of AI enhancement in post processing programs, AI generated photographs and art and the pitfalls of AI. This intriguing topic is certainly front and center everywhere in the photography world and I look forward to hearing about it.
Here's a bit about Pierre that you may not know:
Pierre picked up his first Camera in 1974. His photographic enthusiasm has waxed and waned over the years. Pierre joined the Sarnia Photochromatic Club which later became the Sarnia Photographic Club in 1993. He has been a member ever since, joining the Executive in 1996. The club changed from being a 35mm slide club to digital in 2006 with the help of a Trillium Grant. He has been President of the SPC for two terms once in 2005-2008 and again in 2020-2023. Pierre has had gallery shows at the Lawrence House, Bright’s Grove Library Gallery, Cheeky Monkey. He has participated in SPC group shows at the Lawrence House, Grace Brothers Gallery and other venues. Pierre enjoys photographing the natural world, especially landscapes. He enjoys teaching photography as well as learning new techniques, both with the camera and the computer.
We sure hope to see you at the final meeting of the 2022/23 season.
