Authentic Portraits in the Age of AI (Part 1 of 2)

Description

Explore what makes a portrait feel honest and human in an era of technically perfect and AI-shaped images. Photographer and educator Chris Orwig will use stories, visual examples and practical ideas to examine how curiosity, presence and genuine connection influence the way a portrait is made. Rather than focusing only on camera settings, the session looks at how to notice more, connect with a subject and create photographs with greater depth and emotional resonance. This is Part 1 of a two-part program; the October 7 follow-up is a separate live shooting and editing demonstration. Hosted by B&H Photo and Chris Orwig. Tuesday, October 6, 2026, 4–6 PM Eastern, at the B&H Superstore, 420 9th Avenue, New York. Visit the official event page for registration details.
