Prompting The Light: How AI Can Support Your Creative Process – Dennis Asher

Have you ever wondered how AI can support your art practice?  Well courtesy of Rob McGee we have speaker to give us a session on AI and how it can usefully be employed in your creative process.

Dennis has always loved capturing movement. His landscapes are full of energy—focusing on fast-moving storm clouds, turbulent seas, and birds in flight.

As a teenager in the 1970s, Dennis got his first camera: an Olympus OM-1. It could shoot five frames a second, which meant he could burn through a whole roll of film in just seven seconds. He learned very quickly that timing a shot wasn’t just an art form; it was an economic necessity.

He found a similar lesson in the work of Ansel Adams, who would hike into the Yosemite wilderness carrying just six sheet negatives for an entire trip. Whether shooting rapid-fire action or careful landscapes, the takeaway for Dennis was the same: making the moment count is everything.

Always curious about new tools, Dennis was an early adopter of digital photography. For the past two years, he’s been exploring the next frontier: how Artificial Intelligence can be used as a practical tool from the initial planning of a photo to the final review.

Tonight, he’s going to walk us through that workflow. And whether you are a photographer, a painter, or a mixed-media artist looking for better reference material, he hopes to show you how AI can be an approachable, helpful companion for your own art.
