A two-day workshop for photography enthusiasts and modern trends
The year is 2026. Just a few years ago, panic spread regarding artificial intelligence in the field of imagery: that photography would lose its value, that documentation would no longer be trustworthy, and that human work would be replaced by generated images at the click of a button. But the reality is different. Photography has not disappeared. The tools, the pace of work, and expectations have transformed. And it is precisely for museums, galleries, and cultural institutions that a new challenge is emerging today: to distinguish where AI can truly help and where, on the contrary, it is necessary to insist on authenticity, accuracy, and professional human judgment.
The workshop will offer an overview of current AI possibilities in photo editing—from standard post-production and retouching to working with color and exposure, removing distracting elements, image outpainting, or preparing outputs for the web, print, and social media. Special attention will be paid to the use of AI in the environment of museums, galleries, and cultural institutions. We will demonstrate where AI can facilitate daily work with visual material and where it may pose a problem in terms of authenticity, documentary accuracy, or ethics.
