Class Description

Feeling overwhelmed by AI? Confused by all the hype, jargon, and robots that somehow write better emails than you do? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

In this Texas School Saturday class, Brad will guide you through the strange and wonderful world of AI tools for photographers, artists, and mildly panicked humans.

Learn how to use AI to streamline your workflow, spark new ideas, and maybe even get your life back from your to-do list. No experience required, no tech degree needed—just a willingness to click buttons and laugh when things get weird (because they will).

Brad Barton, M.Photog.M.Artist, CPP, is a photographer, author, and professional wrangler of both light and technology. With a background that spans theater, computer programming, and accidentally falling into photography full-time, he brings a uniquely sideways perspective to the creative process. Brad is known for his award-winning portrait work, offbeat sense of humor, and tendency to click buttons just to see what happens. He’s been exploring how AI tools can support creativity without replacing it—and while he doesn’t claim to have all the answers, he’s definitely broken enough things to know what not to do.
