Artificial Intelligence and Photography explores the emerging relationship between artificial intelligence, photography, creativity, and visual communication. Stuart A. Oring considers AI image generation not simply as a technological development, but as a new creative medium with its own possibilities, limitations, surprises, and artistic potential. Drawing from his experiments with AI-generated imagery, Oring examines how the role of the photographer changes when a camera is replaced by an image-generation tool. The creator becomes, in many respects, a picture editor and art director-planning ideas, directing images, selecting results, and refining them to communicate a desired feeling or concept. The book also explores photographic aesthetics, visual symbolism, chance and serendipity, fantasy, and the ways images can create associations and emotional responses in viewers. Illustrated examples include creative explorations involving crows, faces, chess fantasies, symbolic objects, and other imaginative visual concepts. Rather than treating artificial intelligence as a replacement for photography or human creativity, Oring presents it as another tool available to artists and visual communicators. Artificial Intelligence and Photography invites photographers, artists, students, and anyone interested in images to consider how this evolving medium may expand the possibilities of photographic expression.
