Scott flew solo on this week’s episode of The Grid while Erik was off leading a night photography workshop in New Mexico, but there was no shortage of inspiration.
Before welcoming special guest Rick Sammon, Scott shared a beautiful photo book created by KelbyOne’s own Jason Stevens from their recent trip to Paris, then gave viewers a tour of his newly refreshed online portfolio featuring travel portraits, iPhone photography, and behind-the-scenes galleries.
From there, the conversation shifted to Rick’s new KelbyOne weather photography class with meteorologist Mike Caplan before diving headfirst into the world of AI. Scott and Rick explored everything from turning still images into cinematic videos and animating portraits to creating infrared looks, painterly effects, and experimenting with creative prompts in ChatGPT.
Rather than replacing photography, the discussion focused on how AI can become another creative tool in your kit—helping photographers experiment, learn, and have fun while still relying on strong images as the foundation.
With giveaways sprinkled throughout and a reminder about the upcoming Photographing People Conference, it was an entertaining episode packed with ideas to spark your creativity. Watch the replay below and see where AI can take your photography next.
