AI is everywhere — and for many photographers it feels overwhelming or threatening. In this behind-the-scenes session, professional photographer, ex-Hollywood VFX’er, and Photoshop educator Iven Holt shows what AI looks like when it’s used the right way: as a concept development and planning tool for real photography.

You’ll watch a complete concept-to-finish workflow built from a fully completed shoot created in advance — starting with idea generation and pre-visualization, moving through real-world production, and ending with a live edit in Lightroom + Photoshop that blends AI tools with traditional retouching.

What you’ll see (step-by-step): Developing shoot concepts • Using ChatGPT for style language, costume terms, and lighting descriptors • Refining MidJourney prompts into visual “recipes” • Translating AI imagery into achievable wardrobe + styling • Pre-visualizing lighting before shoot day • Planning production (stylist/HMU/models) • Executing the shoot with intention • Live finishing in Lightroom + Photoshop.

The challenge: Iven reverse-engineers a MidJourney image and recreates it as closely as possible with real lighting, real wardrobe, real models, and real cameras — proving the final result still belongs to the photographer.

Perfect for photographers who want to: break creative blocks • build stronger concepts • plan lighting more effectively • elevate fine art/editorial/portrait work • understand how AI fits into real professional workflows. No hype. No replacement fear. Just real tools for real photographers.
